Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
4. Meditate
In the TV show Supernatural, why is God portrayed as cruel?
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
3. Turn Off the AC
In my experience, British people are fat, ugly and arrogant. Why is it and can it be changed?
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.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
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 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.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
What happens when you get sick in a country with universal healthcare? What's the process like?
1. Cold Showers
5. Give Up a Vice
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
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.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
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.
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.
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.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.

It’s funny…
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
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.
How can I control my daily masturbating habit?
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.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.

2. One More Rep
Another great way to boost your mental
toughness by turning the AC off.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single 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.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Our lives are way too easy.
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).
toughness is to meditate.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
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.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

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.
7. Go Through Hell Week
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
Seriously.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
So how do you cultivate mental
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
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
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
