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?)
7. Go Through Hell Week
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.
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).
I’m just better at handling the suck.
How do I convince flat earthers that the earth is round?
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.
It’s funny…
strength isn’t rocket science.
Why didn't my ex fight for our relationship? He gave up so easily.
Our lives are way too easy.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
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.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
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.

2. One More Rep
Do you think the constitution and laws should be taught in school?
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

Why do some people enjoy being dominated?
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.
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.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
Why are people saying that Trump is fat when he is an athletic 6 foot 3 and 215 pounds?
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
Plain and simple.
Start this off by doing it for one day.

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
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
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.

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.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.

toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
5. Give Up a Vice
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
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.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

toughness.
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 11 pullups instead of 10.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
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.

If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
