One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
4. Meditate
1. Cold Showers
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
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.
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?)
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
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.
3. Turn Off the AC
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
Plain and simple.
as a Navy SEAL.
Overthinking is killing me day-by-day. What should I do?
strength isn’t rocket science.
toughness.
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.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Why do people with trauma easily recognize other people with trauma through eye contact?
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.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
toughness is to meditate.
My blog is new. I need 10 article posts for my blog. How much should I pay for it?
Try it… You’ll see.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
strength over time.
Why did my ex-narcissist move so fast with his new supply marriage engagement moving in, etc.?
I’m just better at handling the suck.
Another great way to boost your mental
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
What would you do if you were lost at sea in the Florida Keys?
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
So how do you cultivate mental

toughness by turning the AC off.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
strength?
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
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.
Why do ugly men flirt with girls that are really hot?
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.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
It’s funny…
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
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.
7. Go Through Hell Week
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
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
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).
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
2. One More Rep
Mental
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
Seriously.
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.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
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.
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.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
Start this off by doing it for one day.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
Start with only 12–24 hours.
Our lives are way too easy.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
The same way you get physically stronger…
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.
strength.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
5. Give Up a Vice
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.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
