Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
So how do you cultivate mental
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
Plain and simple.
I've never read the book. What did Dorian Grey do that was so immoral and sinful?
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.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
Try it… You’ll see.
2. One More Rep
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).
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
Start with only 12–24 hours.

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.
Seriously.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.

It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
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.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
It’s funny…
How do I get a white man for a serious relationship?
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.
4. Meditate
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 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.
7. Go Through Hell Week
toughness by turning the AC off.

Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
strength isn’t rocket science.

3. Turn Off the AC
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
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.
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.
toughness is to 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.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
5. Give Up a Vice
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.

as a Navy SEAL.
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?)
toughness is to meditate.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.

Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
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.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
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
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.
Another great way to boost your mental
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
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 just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Mental
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.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
1. Cold Showers
strength over time.
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.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
The same way you get physically stronger…
