strength isn’t rocket science.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
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.
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.
So how do you cultivate mental
Start now, start small, and work your way up.

One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
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.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
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.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
Plain and simple.

If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
1. Cold Showers
Seriously.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
3. Turn Off the AC
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.

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.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
Here are a few ideas to get you started .

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
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.

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.

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?)
4. Meditate
toughness is to wake up earlier.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

Another great way to boost your mental
5. Give Up a Vice
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
2. One More Rep
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
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.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
I’m just better at handling the suck.

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.
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 this off by doing it for one day.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
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.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
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
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
