Try it… You’ll see.

toughness is to meditate.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
Some men love anal sex more than vaginal sex. Why?
strength isn’t rocket science.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
5. Give Up a Vice

Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
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.
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.
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.
The same way you get physically stronger…
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.
toughness is to wake up earlier.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
What are some signs that a therapist may have poor boundaries with their clients?
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.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
How is bestiality wrong, but killing animals for sport or trophies is considered okay?
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.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
Seriously.

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.
4. Meditate
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
strength over time.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
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.
Plain and simple.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
So how do you cultivate 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?)
toughness.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
1. Cold Showers
3. Turn Off the AC
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
It’s funny…
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
2. One More Rep
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
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.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
Our lives are way too easy.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
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).
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
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.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
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
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.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
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.
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.
