I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

2. One More Rep
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
4. Meditate
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.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
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?)
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.

One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
What misfortune led to an important discovery?
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
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.
Another great way to boost your mental

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.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

5. Give Up a Vice
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.

Can you share 100 facts about yourself?
Seriously.

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.
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.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

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.

Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
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.

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).

Plain and simple.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your 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.
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.
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.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
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

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.
