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

toughness is to meditate.
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.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.

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.
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.

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.

4. Meditate
Why do liberals think it is okay to steal votes while the rest of us obey the law(s)?
I’m just better at handling the suck.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .
1. Cold Showers
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
strength.
2. One More Rep
The same way you get physically stronger…
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
Seriously.
strength isn’t rocket science.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
toughness.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
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.
So how do you cultivate mental
Plain and simple.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
One rep, one set, and one step at a 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.
Our lives are way too easy.
Try it… You’ll see.
strength over time.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
toughness by turning the AC off.

It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
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).
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
I’d challenge you to stretch 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.
Mental
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?)
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.
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.
