In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
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.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
Plain and simple.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.

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.

Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
The same way you get physically stronger…
It’s funny…
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.
So how do you cultivate mental
strength?
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
1. Cold Showers
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.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
2. One More Rep
toughness is to meditate.
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?)
Another great way to boost your mental
strength over time.
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.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
