Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

The same way you get physically stronger…
strength isn’t rocket science.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
I see lots of pictures of women who have huge clits are they real or what?

Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
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.
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.
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.
2. One More Rep
4. Meditate
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.

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.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
3. Turn Off the AC
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.

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.
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.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.

I’d challenge you to stretch 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?)
Plain and simple.
5. Give Up a Vice
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
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.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental

Start now, start small, and work your way up.

So how do you cultivate mental
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
as a Navy SEAL.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
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
Try it… You’ll see.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
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).
Mental
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
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.
Our lives are way too easy.

Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up 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.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
Seriously.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
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.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
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.
7. Go Through Hell Week
It’s funny…
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 just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
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.
