So how do you cultivate mental

Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
Plain and simple.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental

toughness by turning the AC off.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
3. Turn Off the AC
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
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.
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).

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
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.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.

Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.

One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.

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.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
5. Give Up a Vice
I’m just better at handling the suck.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
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.

Another great way to boost your mental
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
1. Cold Showers
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
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 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
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.
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.
strength over time.
The same way you get physically stronger…
Start with only 12–24 hours.

Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
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.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
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.

Our lives are way too easy.
strength?
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.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
