Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Why do some people enjoy being dominated?
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
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.
7. Go Through Hell Week
My son is possessed, now he has psychosis. Can someone help me?
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.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
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.
strength isn’t rocket science.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
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.
toughness by turning the AC off.

Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
Start with only 12–24 hours.

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.

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

Seriously.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
Plain and simple.

Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental

2. One More Rep
Our lives are way too easy.
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).
I’m just better at handling the suck.
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 just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

1. Cold Showers
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
5. Give Up a Vice
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.
strength over time.
toughness is to meditate.
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 small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
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.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
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.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
strength?
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
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.
Another great way to boost your mental
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 just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
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.
3. Turn Off the AC
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.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
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.
The same way you get physically stronger…
strength.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
4. Meditate
toughness is to wake up earlier.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
