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.
7. Go Through Hell Week
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.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
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
In your humble opinion, why does the narcissist mistake kindness for weakness in some people?
3. Turn Off the AC
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.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental

Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.

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.

1. Cold Showers
Start with only 12–24 hours.

One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
Plain and simple.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
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?)

4. Meditate
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
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.
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.
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.

toughness is to wake up earlier.
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.
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.
