Recap: three daily habits to adopt

Do you think you need to completely overhaul your life to become mentally stronger in 2026? Whether you are planning to wake up at 4 a.m. or commit to a grueling routine, we're often told we need to create all new habits if we want to change our lives.

But, big changes rarely stick. Fortunately, a few simple changes might help you build lasting mental strength. Today, I’m sharing three powerful, low-effort strategies that take just minutes a day but will help you build the mental muscle you need to handle whatever the new year throws your way.

Some of the things I talk about are:

• Why most New Year's resolutions fail and the "tiny changes" alternative that actually works
• The biggest misconception about mental strength training (and why it doesn't require hours of your time)
• The 60-second strategy that will help you start your morning strong
• The one thing you can give up to feel refreshed every day
• The surprising thing that will help you build emotional strength each day
• How to turn these small daily actions into a cumulative effect that changes how you think, feel, and act
