strength over time.
It’s funny…
1. Cold Showers

It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
7. Go Through Hell Week
toughness is to wake up earlier.
In the same way that you can’t go to the gym, deadlift 225 lbs. for 5 reps one week and then expect to lift 405 lbs. for 5 reps the next week, you can’t expect to just wake up one day and be as mentally strong
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
Increase the amount of time you spend in the cold by only 10–30 seconds a week and, after a few months, you’ll be able to take 10 minute cold showers with ease.

DON’T do this on the bench press or squat rack if you don’t have a spotter (there’s nothing mentally tough about breaking your back or killing yourself ok?)
toughness by turning the AC off.
Not only will you be saving the environment and helping retrain your body to internally regulate your temperature, but you’ll become stronger by saying “no” to ease, and “yes” to adversity.
Aut perferendis voluptatibus eum sapiente officiis est explicabo itaque.
While I don’t recommend giving up sleep for a week and doing thousands of pushups (unless you have a thing for broken bones and screwed up joints), I challenge you to create your own Hell Week.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
5. Give Up a Vice
Start with only 12–24 hours.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
Why do liberals think it is okay to steal votes while the rest of us obey the law(s)?
Seriously.
This exercise will teach you to keep going even when things are hard and, if applied regularly, will help you become mentally tougher than any other person you know.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Add 1–2 minutes each week and, overtime, not only will you be mentally tougher, but you’ll be more present, less stressed, and more productive in your everyday life.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
toughness.
Another great way to boost your mental
4. Meditate
Try it… You’ll see.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Try pushing yourself to see how long you can go and, eventually, you’ll wonder why you used climate control in the first place (maybe not… But you’ll still be mentally tougher).
Whether it’s total sobriety combined with waking up at 5 a.m., daily exercise, and no television for a week.Or simply one week of giving up your strongest addiction.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
3. Turn Off the AC

There’s nothing quite like intentionally subjecting yourself to frigid waters and saying “No” to the wonderful warmth of a hot shower when it’s only one twist of the handle away requires insane amounts of discipline and grit.
Whether it’s cigarettes, candy, pot, alcohol, or porn, pick a vice that you use everyday, and commit to giving it up for a short period of time.
Cold showers suck. I’ve taken them (almost) everyday for nearly 6 years and they don’t suck any less today than they did when I started.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Challenge yourself to do something seemingly impossible for a short amount of time and you will walk away with more mental toughness than you’ve ever had before.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
Leave a bowl of candy on the table. Leave an open pack of cigarettes in your office. Go to an, *ahem* “gentlemanly” website and leave it open in a minimized browser.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
Plain and simple.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
So apply these strategies slowly. Take small steps and challenge yourself to get 1% tougher every day. After a year has gone by, you’ll be 365% tougher than you were the previous year.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
The same way you get physically stronger…
If you are seriously wanting to give up a vice (like smoking or drinking), you’ll want to throw away anything that reminds you of it.
