4. Meditate
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
Our lives are way too easy.
Why do North Indians, living in Bangalore, not bother to learn Kannada?
The same way you get physically stronger…
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.
So how do you cultivate mental
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
Can relationship issues cause depression?
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
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.
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).
What's wrong with white women?
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
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
Why are Boomers so vehemently opposed to student loan forgiveness?
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.

Another great way to boost your mental
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
Plain and simple.
Try it… You’ll see.
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.
What was it like being spanked as a kid?
2. 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?)
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
What are some photos of masturbation?
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
1. Cold Showers
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
strength.
7. Go Through Hell Week
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
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.
strength over time.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
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.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Mental
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
strength isn’t rocket science.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
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.
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.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
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.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
5. Give Up a Vice
I’m just better at handling the suck.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
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.
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.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
It’s funny…
Seriously.
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.
