One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
1. Cold Showers
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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
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’s funny…
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Atheists who have read the Bible and think that contains immoral things, why do you assume that?
So how do you cultivate mental
Start with only 12–24 hours.

4. Meditate
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Another great way to boost your mental
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.

Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
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.

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.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
Have you made a female relative or friend squirt?
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?)
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.

Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.

Why do we exist, and why are we conscious?
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
5. Give Up a Vice

Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
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.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
7. Go Through Hell Week
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
Plain and simple.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
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’d challenge you to stretch your mental
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.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
3. Turn Off the AC
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as 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.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.

Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
The same way you get physically stronger…
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
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.

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 now, start small, and work your way up.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
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.
