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?)
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Why do I sweat so much after applying moisture or sun screen on my face? I have normal skin.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
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

4. Meditate
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
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.
Why am I sweating so much at night even though my room is really cold?
Plain and simple.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
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.

2. One More Rep
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
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 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.
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.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
When do you feel most peaceful ever?
I’m just better at handling the suck.
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.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
Seriously.
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.

5. Give Up a Vice
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
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.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
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.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
Try it… You’ll see.
The same way you get physically stronger…
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as 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.
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.
strength?
strength isn’t rocket science.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
1. Cold Showers
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.

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.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
7. Go Through Hell Week
Mental
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.
3. Turn Off the AC
Another great way to boost your mental
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).
