I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
1. Cold Showers
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
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.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
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.
Has anyone ever participated in a gang bang and what was it like?
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.
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).

2. 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?)
7. Go Through Hell Week
Have you ever seen your wife being fucked?
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
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.

Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
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.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
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.
strength isn’t rocket science.
Another great way to boost your mental
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
Seriously.
toughness is to meditate.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
The same way you get physically stronger…
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
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.
strength?
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.
4. Meditate
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
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.
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 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
