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.

When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
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.

5. Give Up a Vice
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?)
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
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.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
How would you feel if your girlfriend had dick pics on her phone?
Our lives are way too easy.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
Is it wrong of me to feel uncomfortable that my friend thinks my brother is hot?
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
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.
4. Meditate
Why are Republicans such intolerant people?
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
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.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.

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
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
It’s funny…
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.

toughness is to meditate.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
7. Go Through Hell Week
strength?
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
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
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
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).
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental

Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
Plain and simple.
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.
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 simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
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 this off by doing it for one day.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
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.
strength over time.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
1. Cold Showers
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.
Try it… You’ll see.
Seriously.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up 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.
