Seriously.

strength isn’t rocket science.
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.

In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
2. One More Rep
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Why are American women so ugly nowadays?
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.
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.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Have you ever accidentally found out that you were about to be fired?
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.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
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.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
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.
So how do you cultivate mental

Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
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.
Our lives are way too easy.
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?)
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
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
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
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
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).
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
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.

1. Cold Showers
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.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
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 small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
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.
The same way you get physically stronger…

Here are a few ideas to get you started .
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.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
I’m just better at handling the suck.
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.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
