Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.

Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Our lives are way too easy.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
How do you handle your mother-in-law after you heard her talking badly about you in the next room?
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?)
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
What do you think about wearing sheer pantyhose?
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.
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.
It’s funny…
Why cant I stop thinking about counsellor between sessions?
toughness.
5. Give Up a Vice
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.
Why are the bands Smashmouth and Nickelback often used as punchlines?
Plain and simple.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
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.
Another great way to boost 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.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
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.
Why are Americans obese? Is it the food or is it the psychology?
3. Turn Off the AC
toughness is to wake up earlier.
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
What are 5 ways that can be done by the community to improve the public transport system?
Start with only 12–24 hours.
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
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
Do Americans realize how much goodwill and credibility they've lost in the past two weeks?
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
So how do you cultivate mental
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
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.
Google reportedly plans to cut ties with Scale AI - TechCrunch
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.

Start now, start small, and work your way up.

If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
2. One More Rep
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
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.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
4. Meditate
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).
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
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.

7. Go Through Hell Week
strength isn’t rocket science.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
strength?
strength over time.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
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.
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.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
as a Navy SEAL.
Try it… You’ll see.
