I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
toughness.
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.
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.
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.

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

toughness by turning the AC off.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
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.
3. Turn Off the AC
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
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?)
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).

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
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.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.

5. Give Up a Vice
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.
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.
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.

7. Go Through Hell Week
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.
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.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
Plain and simple.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
It’s funny…
Start this off by doing it for one day.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
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.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
2. One More Rep
So how do you cultivate mental
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
Try it… You’ll see.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
strength isn’t rocket science.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.

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