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

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.

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.

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.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test 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.

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.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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?)

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.

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

3. Turn Off the AC

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

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

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.

Seriously.

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

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

1. Cold Showers

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

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

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

5. Give Up a Vice

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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

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.

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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