I’m just better at handling the suck.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
toughness is to wake up earlier.
Mental
Start this off by doing it for one day.
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.
Why do some straight men enjoy wearing women's lingerie?
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.
It’s funny…
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).

7. Go Through Hell Week
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 if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental

What's the most valuable lesson you've learned in life, and how has it impacted your journey so far?
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Start with only 12–24 hours.

It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
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.
Why do wives cheat with black guys?
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.

Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.

4. Meditate
5. Give Up a Vice
Seriously.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
strength isn’t rocket science.
strength.
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.
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.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
strength over time.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
3. Turn Off the AC
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to 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.
Another great way to boost your mental
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
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?)
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
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.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your 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.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
The same way you get physically stronger…
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
Plain and simple.
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.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
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.
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.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
