7. Go Through Hell Week
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.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.

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.
It’s funny…
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).
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
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.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental

Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
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.
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.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Another great way to boost your mental
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
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.
Plain and simple.

Start this off by doing it for one day.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
Mental
Seriously.
So how do you cultivate mental
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.
1. Cold Showers
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
Try it… You’ll see.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
Our lives are way too easy.
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.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.

4. Meditate

toughness.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
5. Give Up a Vice
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test 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.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
2. One More Rep
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
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.
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
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
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.
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.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.

strength isn’t rocket science.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
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.
