One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
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.
Hillary thinks we must censor or "we lose total control". Why does she demand total control?
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.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Start this off by doing it for one 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.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
Why do some people believe that Homelander would be no match for Superman or Thor?
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.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
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.
What are some cool confidence hacks?
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
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
1. Cold Showers
What sexual experience did you have at a highway rest area?

Another great way to boost your mental
So how do you cultivate mental
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
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.
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.

toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Try it… You’ll see.

2. One More Rep
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
I’d challenge you to stretch 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.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
What might be the social consequences of an ethnic as opposed to a civic conception of the nation?
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.
4. Meditate
as a Navy SEAL.
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 you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
Is it normal to hate my dog, but feel too guilty to get rid of him?
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
7. Go Through Hell Week
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.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
3. Turn Off the AC
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
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?)
toughness.
5. Give Up a Vice
toughness is to meditate.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
The same way you get physically stronger…
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.
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 funny…
Start with only 12–24 hours.
Seriously.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
strength isn’t rocket science.
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.
