I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
5. Give Up a Vice
What is unattractive about a nice guy? Why do some women don’t choose nice guys?
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.

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.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
Try it… You’ll see.
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.
1. Cold Showers
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.

Start with only 12–24 hours.
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).
3. Turn Off the AC
Why does Islam give a bad vibe?
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
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.

Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
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.
7. Go Through Hell Week
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
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
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.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
2. One More Rep
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
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.
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.
Another great way to boost 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.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
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.
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?)
Mental
I’m just better at handling the suck.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
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.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
So how do you cultivate mental
toughness is to meditate.
Our lives are way too easy.
Seriously.
