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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

1. Cold Showers

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.

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

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.

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

Plain and simple.

If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Start now, start small, and work your way up.

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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

It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build 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.

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

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

I’m just better at handling the suck.

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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.

But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.

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

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?)

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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