Build on Your Physical Self-Discipline to Temper the Mind
Once your body is under control, it's time to work on moderating your mind. This involves balancing how you feel, think, and respond amid life's chaos.

Embrace Imperfection: Aim to do your best rather than strive for perfection, and learn from your mistakes.
