Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
The same way you get physically stronger…
Start this off by doing it for one day.
When sharing a wife, is it best with your buddy or a stranger?
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
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.

So how do you cultivate 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.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
I just cannot wake up early, even if I sleep on time. What should I do?
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.

toughness.
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.
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.
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.
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
toughness is to meditate.
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.
5. Give Up a Vice
How long does it typically take for prices to return to normal after tariffs are removed?
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?)

Plain and simple.

4. Meditate
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.

7. Go Through Hell Week
1. Cold Showers
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
How was cancer treatment different in the US and the UK?
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
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.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
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
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
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.

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.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
strength isn’t rocket science.
What is your age now, and what age do you prefer to stay at forever?
I’m just better at handling the suck.
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.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
It’s funny…

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.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
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.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
Try it… You’ll see.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Seriously.
3. Turn Off the AC
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.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
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).
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
2. One More Rep
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
