Mental
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
strength over time.
Why was the rock band Kiss so successful?
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.
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.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
What do you think about Matt Gatz as an attorney general?
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
3. Turn Off the AC
as a Navy SEAL.
Plain and simple.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
5. Give Up a Vice
Seriously.
What is the most heartbreaking thing your child has told you?
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
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
2. One More Rep
Who is the most dangerous or evilest person of all time?
toughness.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
What are the best Jewish jokes?
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
Our lives are way too easy.
It’s funny…
Which feels physically better for guys: vaginal sex or anal sex?
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
toughness is to meditate.
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.
7. Go Through Hell Week
I have the power to talk to aliens through using telepathy. Why do people think I'm crazy?
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Do flat Earthers really exist? Why do they believe the Earth is flat?
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.
1. Cold Showers
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.
Why do most people care so much about what others think? Are they afraid of society norms?

The same way you get physically stronger…
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
What are some common examples of condescending behavior?
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
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).
strength isn’t rocket science.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
strength.
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.
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.
toughness by turning the AC off.
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.
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
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.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
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.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.

When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
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.
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 .
4. Meditate
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.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
Start this off by doing it for one day.
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.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
So how do you cultivate mental
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
Another great way to boost your mental
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?)
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
Try it… You’ll see.
