7. Go Through Hell Week

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

How do I convince flat earthers that the earth is round?

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

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

How is a narcissist likely to handle situations when confronted with hard truths about themselves?

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental

What is the most inappropriate experience you have had with a friend's daughter?

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.

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.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Is something wrong with my discharge? So, when I masturbate, white discharge comes from my vagina, but it's not stretchy, it's pasty. It doesn't smell and I'm not itchy, so I'm sure it's not a yeast infection. Why is it pasty though?

5. Give Up a Vice

toughness is to meditate.

It’s funny…

How do you perform a lap dance for your boyfriend or husband?

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

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).

toughness is to wake up earlier.

As a guy, how do you know you if you are considered attractive?

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

1. Cold Showers

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

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

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

2. One More Rep

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

When did bestiality first occur to you and how did it happen the first time? Was it a deliberate decision or it just happened and you allowed it?

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

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?)

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

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.

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

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.

strength isn’t rocket science.

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.

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.

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

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

So how do you cultivate mental

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

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.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

as a Navy SEAL.

Seriously.

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.

4. Meditate

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.

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

Plain and simple.

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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.
