Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
2. One More Rep
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
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.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
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.
Seriously.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

toughness is to wake up earlier.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
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.
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).

And it’s exactly how it sounds.
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.

1. Cold Showers
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

Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
3. Turn Off the AC
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
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.
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?)
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
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 how do you cultivate mental
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of 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.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
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.
Try it… You’ll see.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

7. Go Through Hell Week
Another great way to boost your mental
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Plain and simple.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
strength isn’t rocket science.
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.
The same way you get physically stronger…
Start with only 12–24 hours.
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.
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.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
5. Give Up a Vice
Our lives are way too easy.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
toughness is to meditate.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
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.
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.
