One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
Can you share a picture of your favorite outfit and explain why you love it?

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.
Plain and simple.
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.
5. Give Up a Vice
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
4. Meditate
What is the best way to get over your ex?
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
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.
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.
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.

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.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
2. One More Rep
Why do you think it is bad to allow people to self-identify as a different gender?
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test 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.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

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

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

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).
I’m just better at handling the suck.

7. Go Through Hell Week
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
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.
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?)
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
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.
The same way you get physically stronger…
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
It’s funny…
Our lives are way too easy.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
Seriously.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
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.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
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.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
strength isn’t rocket science.
3. Turn Off the AC
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
1. Cold Showers
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.
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.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
