But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Plain and simple.
Do most men prefer curvy women or skinny women?
Start now, start small, and work your way up.

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

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

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).
toughness by turning the AC off.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
What has been your best sexual experience?
1. Cold Showers
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
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.
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.
strength isn’t rocket science.
My boyfriend won’t tell me his past and it hurts me so I broke up with him what do I do?

When do you feel most peaceful ever?
So how do you cultivate mental
Here are a few ideas to get you 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.
2. One More Rep
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
strength.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
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.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
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
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
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.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
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.
4. Meditate
toughness.
Seriously.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
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.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Our lives are way too easy.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
as a Navy SEAL.
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.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Mental
toughness is to wake up earlier.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.

7. Go Through Hell Week
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
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?)
Try it… You’ll see.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
strength over time.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.

The same way you get physically stronger…
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.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
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.
