3. Turn Off the AC
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.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
What do you respect the most about Elon Musk?
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
5. Give Up a Vice
Why have Indian girls almost stopped wearing sarees?
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
Plain and simple.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
Do you know of a female masseuse that does door-to-door service in Bangalore?
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.
2. One More Rep
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
What are the withdrawal symptoms of Klonopin 1mg?
One rep, one set, and one step at a 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.
Try it… You’ll see.

Another great way to boost 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.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
strength isn’t rocket science.
1. Cold Showers
strength over time.
Why does a straight man like anal penetration?
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.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
Why did my ex-narcissist move so fast with his new supply marriage engagement moving in, etc.?
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
What made you recently say to yourself, “Wait. Really?”
Our lives are way too easy.
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.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
What topics are okay with you in comics and what topics should be totally off the table?
7. Go Through Hell Week
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
Have you ever gone to a porn theater with your wife?
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
strength?
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Seriously.
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?)
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
toughness is to meditate.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
4. Meditate
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.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
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.
as a Navy SEAL.
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).
Mental
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.
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.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
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.
It’s funny…
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
So how do you cultivate mental
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.
The same way you get physically stronger…
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your 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 simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
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.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
