toughness is to wake up earlier.

And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.

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.

4. Meditate

In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Are LGBT people accepted in Japan?

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.

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 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.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Why do guys on dating apps often just first message "hey" or "hey how are you" instead of being more creative and unique? How do they think being a copycat will stand out?

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Try it… You’ll see.

Does any unofficial Roman Catholic card exist in the world to play? In Italy, Rome & the Vatican City, can practising Catholics get any discounts as a tourist, & / or privileged admission to certain sights, with different rules for non Catholics?

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

strength isn’t rocket science.

Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.

What disturbed you today?

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 and you’ll be amazed by the results.

When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.

So how do you cultivate mental

But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

toughness is to meditate.

If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.

It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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.

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.

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

Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental

5. Give Up a Vice

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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.

Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.

Start now, start small, and work your way up.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Another great way to boost your mental

Our lives are way too easy.

as a Navy SEAL.

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.

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?)

The same way you get physically stronger…

One rep, one set, and one step at a time.

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.

Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.

Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.

It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.

7. Go Through Hell Week

Plain and simple.
