## Resource

Mindfulness is a tool for hyper-focusing on the daily discipline required for physical transformation. By being present, you can audit your habits and ensure every action aligns with your nutritional and training goals.

## Highlights
- Main idea: Mindfulness allows you to audit your current habits and adjust them to better serve your fitness goals
- Practical takeaway: Use tracking apps like MyFitnessPal to ensure you are maintaining the caloric surplus necessary for hypertrophy
- Failure mode: Neglecting consistent meal frequency because of how you 'feel' in the moment rather than sticking to the plan
- Main idea: Using the discomfort of your current physique as a catalyst for change and growth
- Practical takeaway: View weight gain—even if it includes some body fat—as a necessary step for providing the energy needed to build muscle
