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.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
Seriously.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.

It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
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.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
5. Give Up a Vice
Why do men prefer women below the age of 30?
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.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
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.

Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
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.
Our lives are way too easy.
What do people aim for when they meditate, and how do they do it properly?
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.

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).

Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
What do you say after "Hi" when chatting?
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
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.
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.
4. Meditate
toughness is to meditate.
The same way you get physically stronger…
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
2. One More Rep
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
I’m just better at handling the suck.
Plain and simple.
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.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
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

Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
Another great way to boost your mental
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.

Start now, start small, and work your way up.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
toughness is to wake up earlier.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
It’s funny…

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.
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
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.
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?)
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
1. Cold Showers
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Try it… You’ll see.
strength isn’t rocket science.
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.
