Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.

What exactly is female squirting? Is it only urine or a combination of liquids?
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
toughness.
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).
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
toughness by turning the AC off.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Why is the US going after Canada after all? What is the reason for all this hostility?
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
Seriously.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
7. Go Through Hell Week

3. Turn Off the AC
Why do women have sex with dogs?
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.
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.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
Is it considered rude to comment on someone's weight? Is it simply stating a fact?
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
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.
1. Cold Showers
What would be the lowest score with 9 strikes and no gutter balls?
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.
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.
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
Are you more of a butt guy or a boob guy?
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.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
It’s funny…
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.
2. One More Rep
Start this off by doing it for one day.
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.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Try it… You’ll see.
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?)
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 want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
So how do you cultivate mental
The same way you get physically stronger…
Our lives are way too easy.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
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.
strength.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
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.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
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.
5. Give Up a Vice
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
as a Navy SEAL.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
4. Meditate
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
strength isn’t rocket science.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
Another great way to boost your mental
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
strength?
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
toughness is to meditate.
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.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
strength over time.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
