But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.

The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
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.
Mental

It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
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.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
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.

3. Turn Off the AC

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
7. Go Through Hell Week
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
Would the word literate carry the same meaning with public (common wealth) in 1900 vs today 2020?
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
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.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
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.

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).
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.

5. Give Up a Vice
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
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.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
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.
strength?
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “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?)
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
Seriously.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Plain and simple.
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.
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.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
strength over time.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
toughness by turning the AC off.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
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.
strength isn’t rocket science.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test 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.
Our lives are way too easy.
It’s funny…
1. Cold Showers
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.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
So how do you cultivate mental
Try it… You’ll see.
2. One More Rep

toughness is to meditate.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.

In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
