Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
7. Go Through Hell Week
Have you ever had your crush reject you, and then later you all dated and married?
Start this off by doing it for one day.
So how do you cultivate mental
The same way you get physically stronger…
What do people aim for when they meditate, and how do they do it properly?
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.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
What does the Bible say about the Antichrist? How will we know when he arrives on the scene?
Plain and simple.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
How do flat Earthers explain the existence of other spherical planets?
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.
Another great way to boost your mental
strength isn’t rocket science.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
4. Meditate
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.
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.

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.

Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
How do you recognize when your mental health might need attention?
1. Cold Showers

It’s funny…
Our lives are way too easy.
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
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
3. Turn Off the AC
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.
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.
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.

Start now, start small, and work your way up.

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?)
Seriously.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
5. Give Up a Vice
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.

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

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

2. One More Rep
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your 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.

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.
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.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
