strength.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
4. Meditate

Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

3. Turn Off the AC
strength?
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
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.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
Our lives are way too easy.
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.

strength over time.
toughness is to meditate.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
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.
Another great way to boost your mental
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.
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.

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.
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.

toughness by turning the AC off.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build 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?)
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
as a Navy SEAL.
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.
5. Give Up a Vice
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
I’m just better at handling the suck.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
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.
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.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
2. One More Rep
It’s funny…
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
toughness.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
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).
1. Cold Showers
The same way you get physically stronger…
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.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
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.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
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.
Mental
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
7. Go Through Hell Week
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.
Plain and simple.
strength isn’t rocket science.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Seriously.
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
Start with only 12–24 hours.
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.
