One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
Our lives are way too easy.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
strength?
1. Cold Showers
When a narcissist mad at their new supply, do they take it out on the old supply?
Seriously.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Why am I not attracted to masculine men? Why do I like more feminine attributes on a man?
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.
It’s funny…

It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
toughness is to wake up earlier.

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
Try it… You’ll see.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
Plain and simple.
Why do flat Earthers exist? Why can’t I see the Sun at night? Is it because Earth is not flat?
strength isn’t rocket science.
toughness by turning the AC off.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
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.
Has anyone liked being made a cocksucker?
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
7. Go Through Hell Week
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.

strength.
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.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
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.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
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.
2. One More Rep
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
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
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.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
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.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.

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.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.

It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
So how do you cultivate mental
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.
5. Give Up a Vice
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
3. Turn Off the AC

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).
4. Meditate
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.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
toughness is to meditate.
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.
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?)
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
Another great way to boost your mental
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
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.
The same way you get physically stronger…
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
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.
