Step 1
Close the day at a chosen line
Pick a moment — last cup, lamp on, child asleep. After that line, no more transactions with tomorrow. Mental Toughness begins at the line, not after it.

Step 2
Review the day through the teaching
Where today did Become the forged version of yourself. The 40% Rule. The Accountability Mirror. The Cookie Jar. The Suck Index. The Box show up unrecognised? Where did you forget it? Two moments only. No verdict.

Step 3
Release one thing aloud
A worry, a slight, an unfinished task — name it under your breath and let it stay outside the bedroom. The unsaid travels into sleep with you. The said usually does not.

Step 4
Bow once to tomorrow
A small gesture, eyes closed. Mental Toughness does not need belief here, only a hinge between the day that just ended and the one beginning while you sleep.
The hardest part of Mental Toughness is letting the practice be small. Small is the whole point.
