3. Turn Off the AC
toughness.
It’s funny…
In my experience, British people are fat, ugly and arrogant. Why is it and can it be changed?
toughness is to wake up earlier.
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.
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.
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
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
Try it… You’ll see.
Is using tech to track or monitor your partner’s activities a sign of love, insecurity, or control?
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
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.
5. Give Up a Vice

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Plain and simple.
1. Cold Showers
Our lives are way too easy.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
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 .
7. Go Through Hell Week
toughness by turning the AC off.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
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.
Mental
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.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
Were any US Generals hurt or killed yesterday in Damascus, Syria, yesterday 5/9/24?
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?)
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
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.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
4. Meditate
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 Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
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.
strength over time.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
2. One More Rep
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.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
strength.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
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.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
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.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
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.
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).
strength?
Another great way to boost your mental
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
toughness is to meditate.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
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.
Seriously.
So how do you cultivate mental
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
