And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like 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.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
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.
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.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental

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.

Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
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.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
5. Give Up a Vice
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
One rep, one set, and one step at a 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.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
2. One More Rep
The same way you get physically stronger…
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 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?)
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
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
Plain and simple.

I’m just better at handling the suck.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
1. Cold Showers
strength isn’t rocket science.
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.

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.

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.
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.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
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.
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.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
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).
