Hi my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

I firmly believe that taking charge of your mindset allows you to be in the driver's seat of your life and unlock your potential.

And that's why I'm thrilled to share that my new book is out right now.

It's called The Greatness Mindset. In it you'll learn how to build a plan for greatness through powerful exercises and toolkits designed to propel your life forward. This is the book that I wish I had 20 years ago.

It's everything I've learned in the last decade with the research and the science to

help you unlock your mind. Make sure to go to Lewishouse.com slash 2023 mindset to pick up your copy of my book The Greatness Mindset today.

What is the intention and the process before punching when you know you need more than just physical mass to break through what you're punishing.

Sometimes it's about giving and sometimes it's about taking.

which means all the areas that are vulnerable on your body there are ways to develop it that at least

they are not not as weak anymore of course it all has a certain limit but the limits can

be quite high what are the places on the body that are most vulnerable that you train to harden and strengthen?

I think as a martial artist, especially all of the areas of your limbs that normally have the first

contact with your counterpart. It's the forearms, it's the elbows, sometimes it's for the shoulder. Then it's the knees, of course, it's... the to take. How do you hard in all these places? It's just a matter of striking repeatedly

until you break something like right before breaking it. This is this is the nice part

why still after 35 years I'm still like diving even into this area and why the Shaolin Arts for me is just giving me so many answers.

Because for example, this way of hardening was taught to me follows a very specific structure.
