Plain and simple.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
toughness.
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 out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
It’s funny…
Why did you put a guy’s dick in your mouth the first time?
toughness by turning the AC off.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
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
toughness is to meditate.
I feel like my boyfriend doesn't love me. Why?
strength over 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.
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.
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
7. Go Through Hell Week

5. Give Up a Vice

And it’s exactly how it sounds.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
3. Turn Off the AC
I’m just better at handling the suck.
2. One More Rep
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
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.
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.
Our lives are way too easy.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
Why do you allow your cat to lie in bed with you?
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.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Start with only 12–24 hours.
Is anal sex allowed in Islam? It's not written anywhere in the Quran whether it's forbidden or not.
Another great way to boost your mental
4. Meditate
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.
What is a sermon to talk about men?
Try it… You’ll see.
Seriously.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
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.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
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.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
strength?
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.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
1. Cold Showers
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
strength isn’t rocket science.
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.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
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).
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
Mental
strength.
So how do you cultivate mental
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.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
