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.
4. Meditate

Try it… You’ll see.
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.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
If you get a chance to have sex with either Kajal Agarwal or Samantha, who would you choose and why?
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.
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.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
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.
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.
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?)
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
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.
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.

5. Give Up a Vice
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.

Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
Plain and simple.
It’s funny…
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Seriously.

Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
1. Cold Showers
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).
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
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.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
The same way you get physically stronger…
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
Another great way to boost your mental

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
3. Turn Off the AC
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your 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.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
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.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
So how do you cultivate mental
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
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
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.
