Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
Seriously.
Can you tell me something about yourself?
Another great way to boost your mental
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
Plain and simple.

In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
7. Go Through Hell Week
What is the best sex you have ever had (in detail)?
Try it… You’ll see.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
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.
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.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
3. Turn Off the AC
Why do men love boobs (irrespective of big or small)?
strength?
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
What does it mean when you dream that your mother died?
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
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.
4. Meditate
I’m just better at handling the suck.
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
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
What made you feel disgusted today?
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
The same way you get physically stronger…
toughness.
strength over time.
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.

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.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
What do you love to do at night when you’re alone?
strength isn’t rocket science.
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
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.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
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.
It’s funny…
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
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.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
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.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
strength.
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.
toughness is to meditate.
toughness by turning the AC off.
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
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.
2. One More Rep
as a Navy SEAL.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
5. Give Up a Vice
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
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.
So how do you cultivate mental
Start this off by doing it for one day.
Mental
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
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.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
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?)
Our lives are way too easy.
