toughness is to meditate.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
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.

It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
5. Give Up a Vice
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.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
The same way you get physically stronger…
Our lives are way too easy.
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.

3. Turn Off 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.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
How can you tell if someone is cunning?
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
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
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.

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.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
Are there really people who still believe the Earth is flat?
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.

So how do you cultivate mental

4. Meditate
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.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
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?)
7. Go Through Hell Week
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
1. Cold Showers
Start this off by doing it for one day.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
toughness is to wake up earlier.
2. One More Rep
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
It’s funny…
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.
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.
Another great way to boost your mental
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
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.

Seriously.
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.
