Seriously.

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

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.

1. Cold Showers

I’m just better at handling the suck.

strength isn’t rocket science.

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.

When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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

toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.

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.

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental

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

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

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.

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?)

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.

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.

7. Go Through 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.

So how do you cultivate mental

toughness is to 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.

It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental

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.

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

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

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

Another great way to boost 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.

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

And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
