6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
1. Cold Showers
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.
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.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
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.
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?)
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
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.
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.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.

7. Go Through Hell Week
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
toughness is to meditate.
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 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
It’s funny…
5. Give Up a Vice
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
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.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
3. Turn Off the AC
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.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
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
Plain and simple.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.

2. One More Rep

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.

So how do you cultivate mental
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
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).
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
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.
