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.
strength isn’t rocket science.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
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.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.

2. One More Rep
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 this off by doing it for one day.

It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
Why do diabetic people sweat so much?
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
Plain and simple.
It’s funny…
toughness is to wake up earlier.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
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.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental

1. Cold Showers
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.
Our lives are way too easy.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
So how do you cultivate mental

But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
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.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
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.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
Seriously.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
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.
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.
7. Go Through Hell Week

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
toughness.
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
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.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Another great way to boost your mental
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
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).
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
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.
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.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single 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.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
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.
5. Give Up a Vice
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
as a Navy SEAL.

toughness is to meditate.
3. Turn Off the AC
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?)
Try it… You’ll see.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
