> _ANYONE Can Be Mentally Tough. It’s Easy._ Directed by SpoonFedStudy, 2025. _YouTube_, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea0fUDES1Hc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea0fUDES1Hc). # Build mental resilience through exposure - You can increase mental resilience through voluntary exposure to it - SpoonFedStudy gives the example of the plank and his regimen that enabled him to hold it for 15 minutes. - He divides the plank into two halves: 1. The naked plank, where he simply holds it without distractions and focuses on positive thoughts; 2. The reward plank, where he allows himself to play a video game that he can only play while holding the plank, so that he becomes addicted to the plank. - He then increases the hold duration by a few seconds every day. - He also stresses the importance of practicing mindfulness to increase mental and emotional resilience.
