One rep, one set, and one step at a time.

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

3. Turn Off the AC

Do many women shave their vaginas?

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

Mental

Homophobia is clearly a harmful mental sickness. What can LGBT people do to cure it?

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 this off by doing it for one day.

4. Meditate

Is using tech to track or monitor your partner’s activities a sign of love, insecurity, or control?

Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.

It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.

If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.

What's the most trivial thing that ever made you go to the doctor?

Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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.

Do Flat Earthers exist today? If so, where do they live?

toughness is to meditate.

Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.

Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.

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.

But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.

Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental

Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build 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.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

7. Go Through Hell Week

Plain and simple.

Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.

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.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

2. One More Rep

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).

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.

So how do you cultivate mental

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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.

But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

It’s funny…

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

5. Give Up a Vice

I’m just better at handling the suck.

strength?

It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.

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.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental

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.

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 are seriously wanting to give up a vice (like smoking or drinking), you’ll want to throw away anything that reminds you of it.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

strength isn’t rocket science.

Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.

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?)

Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.

And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
