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.

Seriously.

1. Cold Showers

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

Why is Matt Gaetz being investigated but not Sarah (Tim) McBride? Why do we only care about grooming when it's the Republicans doing it?

It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.

In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.

How did you become popular in school?

But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

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.

Is there a reason why many men give up on dating and relationships? Is the dating scene difficult for them?

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

One rep, one set, and one step at a time.

Why are Trump supporters so incredibly stupid?

Another great way to boost your mental

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.

Why is social media so anti-fee speech, and have they become total BS?

The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.

Why is it that when the Democrats absolutely love everyone to be LGBTP, they don't even acknowledge that Barack Obama and his husband Big Mike are homosexual, and he is the first homosexual president of the USA?

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.

And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Is there any evidence to support the existence of people who have experienced "gangstalking"? Or is it a psychological phenomenon?

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.

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).

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.

It’s funny…

Our lives are way too easy.

toughness is to meditate.

Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.

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.

If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.

strength?

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.

2. One More Rep

Plain and simple.

Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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?)

It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.

Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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 11 pullups instead of 10.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental

Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.

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.

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental

Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.

Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.

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
