Start now, start small, and work your way up.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental

Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
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.

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.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Our lives are way too easy.

strength isn’t rocket science.

If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
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.
I can not sleep. what is the problem?
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.

What firsthand information do you have on prisoner-on-prisoner sexual abuse/rape?
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
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.
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.

In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Another great way to boost your mental
toughness by turning the AC off.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
2. One More Rep

strength?
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
1. Cold Showers
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
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.
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.

So how do you cultivate mental
Plain and simple.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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?)
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
toughness is to meditate.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
Try it… You’ll see.
It’s funny…
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.
