It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
Our lives are way too easy.

3. Turn Off the AC

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 this off by doing it for one day.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
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.
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?)

Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Seriously.
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.
Plain and simple.
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.
What is the difference between heaven and heavens?
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.
toughness is to meditate.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
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.
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”.
strength over time.
7. Go Through Hell Week
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.
The same way you get physically stronger…
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.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
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.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
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.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
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.

One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
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.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
5. Give Up a Vice
toughness is to wake up earlier.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
2. One More Rep
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.

It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
Try it… You’ll see.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
It’s funny…
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
So how do you cultivate mental
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
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).
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
