If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
What are the bitter truths of life one should know?
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
Who is the dumbest law enforcement officer you have ever encountered?
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.
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.

toughness is to wake up earlier.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
The same way you get physically stronger…
7. Go Through Hell Week

4. Meditate
Another great way to boost your mental
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.
Is LGBTQ destroying the world?
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.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
2. One More Rep
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
Start this off by doing it for one day.
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.
toughness.
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.
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.
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).
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.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
So how do you cultivate mental
I’m just better at handling the suck.
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.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Plain and simple.
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.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
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 is to meditate.
5. Give Up a Vice
1. Cold Showers
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

toughness by turning the AC off.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
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.
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
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
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.
