Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
What kind of person makes you think "how come there are people like that"?
as a Navy SEAL.
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 funny…
toughness is to meditate.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build 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.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
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.
Did you become a cuckold for your wife?
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
Our lives are way too easy.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
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.
4. Meditate
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
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?)
Why can't hot girls date ugly guys? I am ugly but I want an attractive girlfriend
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
toughness.
Seriously.
toughness by turning the AC off.
strength.
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.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.

strength over time.
Another great way to boost your mental
The same way you get physically stronger…
Have you ever had your crush reject you, and then later you all dated and married?
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.

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).
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
How do flat Earthers explain the existence of other spherical planets?
I’m just better at handling the suck.
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.
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.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
So how do you cultivate mental
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
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.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
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
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
2. One More Rep
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Plain and simple.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
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
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
strength isn’t rocket science.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
strength?
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
1. Cold Showers
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
7. Go Through Hell Week
Start this off by doing it for one day.
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.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
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.
3. Turn Off the AC
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.
Try it… You’ll see.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build 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.
