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

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

Do you think your landlord should have a key to your room?

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Why do flat earthers think using globetrotter, globetard, and other insults will make the educated arguer fall for the silly flat-earth belief?

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

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

Start now, start small, and work your way up.

How do I get my body in shape?

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

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

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 Republicans realize that the power of the people is invested in 'representative government'? If so, why did they elect a pathological liar?

It’s funny…

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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.

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.

1. Cold Showers

Try it… You’ll see.

Why does Russia and many parts of Eastern Europe strangely have a high percentage of female doctors and physicians (~70%)?

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

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).

Why do flat earthers exist?

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.

Our lives are way too easy.

3. Turn Off the AC

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?)

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.

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

5. Give Up a Vice

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.

toughness is to meditate.

Another great way to boost your mental

Plain and simple.

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

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.

One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental

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

In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.

So how do you cultivate mental

Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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.

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.

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.

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

4. Meditate

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.

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.

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