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.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
1. Cold Showers
Seriously.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.

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.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
It’s funny…
Do you have any fantasies you are ashamed of?
3. Turn Off the AC
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
Mental
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.
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.
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.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
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.
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.

Start now, start small, and work your way up.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
toughness is to meditate.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
Plain and simple.
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).
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
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.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.

Another great way to boost your mental

7. Go Through Hell Week
strength.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
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.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
5. Give Up a Vice
2. One More Rep
Our lives are way too easy.
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
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.
strength over time.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
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.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
Try it… You’ll see.
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.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
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.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
So how do you cultivate mental
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.

toughness by turning the AC off.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
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?)
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
The same way you get physically stronger…
