It’s funny…
2. One More Rep
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
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.
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.

In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
1. Cold Showers
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.

Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
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?)
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
Is the saying "nice guys finish last" true? Can good intentions always lead to positive outcomes?
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.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
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.

It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
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).
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.
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.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
Start this off by doing it for one day.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
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
Seriously.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
strength isn’t rocket science.
Try it… You’ll see.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
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.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
7. Go Through Hell Week
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 simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
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.
3. Turn Off the AC

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
Plain and simple.
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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
One rep, one set, and one step at a 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.
