Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
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.

strength isn’t rocket science.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
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.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
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 are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

3. Turn Off the AC

One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
The same way you get physically stronger…
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?)

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.
Another great way to boost your mental

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

Seriously.

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.
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.

Mental
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
strength.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
Try it… You’ll see.
1. Cold Showers
Start this off by doing it for one day.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of 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.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
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.
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).
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
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.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.

I’m just better at handling the suck.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
Plain and simple.
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.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
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.

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
toughness is to meditate.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
So how do you cultivate 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.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
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.
2. One More Rep
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
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.
