Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

The same way you get physically stronger…
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.
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.

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

One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
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.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
2. One More Rep
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
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.
7. Go Through Hell Week
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.

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?)
strength isn’t rocket science.
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.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
3. Turn Off the AC
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).
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
toughness is to meditate.
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.

1. Cold Showers
It’s funny…
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build 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.
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.
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
Start with only 12–24 hours.
Seriously.
as a Navy SEAL.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
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.
strength over time.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
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.
Another great way to boost your mental
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
Mental
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
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.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
5. Give Up a Vice
Plain and simple.
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.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
