I think living a life in which you put yourself in difficult situations, to keep growing.
Comfort makes people weak.
Discomfort is great for growth.
Think about building muscles, you need to put them under stress, and gradually they become larger and larger while you continually push the limits of what you can lift.
Same with life. You hit your maximum of what you can achieve, then try a bit more.
Stoicism encapsulates some of these concepts.

Not eating anything for a couple of days.
Not wearing a jacket when you go out into a cold night.
Live in a smaller place that you can afford.
Not putting the air con when the hot is melting you.
Taking a cold shower in a freezing morning.
Etc.
Basically, training your body and mind for bad situations, so that when you have to face those situations in the future you are well prepared for it.
In the end this makes you free, because there is nothing that you fear since you've trained for every discomfort you could face.
