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

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

Have anyone had an relationship of any kind with a spirit or demon, such as a succubus? If so, how was it?

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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.

Does Donald Trump have low self-esteem?

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.

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.

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.

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

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental

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.

How did you cope when someone you love, dealing with hyper-independence and trauma, felt they needed space to heal alone? Were you able to support them without overstepping, and did you eventually reconnect? How did that journey unfold?

2. One More Rep

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

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

5. Give Up a Vice

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

4. Meditate

Can they start feeding only one meal to prisoners on death row or those doing a life sentence? Because only then will it be real punishment. If they want extra food they can work or pay from their own pocket.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.

3. Turn Off the AC

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

How do people move on so quickly? I’m still sprung over someone I was dating and he found someone else so fast. I feel hurt because I’m still head over heels over him while he’s out enjoying his life with someone new

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

Another great way to boost your mental

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.

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

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

Mental

toughness.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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.

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

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.

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

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

Try it… You’ll see.

Plain and simple.

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.

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

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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.

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.

1. Cold Showers

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?)

Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

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

If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
