2. One More Rep
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.

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
toughness by turning the AC off.
Which city should one visit between Nice and Cannes? Why?
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
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.
Seriously.
4. Meditate
What a list actors/ actresses are notorious for being jerks in real life?
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
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.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build 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.
How can I be okay with being ugly? What is the bright side?
as a Navy SEAL.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
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.
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
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
Try it… You’ll see.

If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
strength?
Why do our deceased do not protect us from other bad spirits?
strength.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
7. Go Through Hell Week
I’m running away I live in Indiana what states near by are safe I’m 12 no comments?
Start with only 12–24 hours.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
Plain and simple.

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.
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.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
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?)
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.
The same way you get physically stronger…
5. Give Up a Vice
strength over time.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
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.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
I’m just better at handling the suck.
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.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
strength isn’t rocket science.
It’s funny…
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
1. Cold Showers
Another great way to boost your mental
Our lives are way too easy.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Start this off by doing it for one day.
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.
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).
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.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
Mental
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
So how do you cultivate mental
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.
toughness.
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.
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
toughness is to meditate.
