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.

Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “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

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.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

7. Go Through Hell Week

The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.

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.

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.

2. One More Rep

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

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Mental

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

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.

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

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 just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your 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.

3. Turn Off the AC

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

strength.

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

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

But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.

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

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).

Start this off by doing it for one day.

5. Give Up a Vice

So how do you cultivate mental

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

The same way you get physically stronger…

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

It’s funny…

Seriously.

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.

4. Meditate

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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.

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.

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