Here are a few ideas to get you started .
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Try it… You’ll see.
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 give up quality sleep to do this.
7. Go Through Hell Week
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
What is the reason for the high rate of unmarried individuals in America, particularly among males?
toughness by turning the AC off.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
5. Give Up a Vice
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
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.

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.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
Why am I so triggered and depressed over a minor thing?
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.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.

2. One More Rep
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to 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.

If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a 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.
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

Seriously.
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.

It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
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.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
strength isn’t rocket science.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
I’d challenge you to stretch 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).
3. Turn Off the AC
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
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 with only 12–24 hours.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
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.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
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.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
It’s funny…
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
toughness is to meditate.
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.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.

I’m just better at handling the suck.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
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.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test 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.
4. Meditate
So how do you cultivate mental
Plain and simple.
1. Cold Showers
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.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental

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.
