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

2. One More Rep

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.

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.

4. Meditate

How does one succeed in life?

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

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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

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.

1. Cold Showers

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

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

Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.

5. Give Up a Vice

toughness is to meditate.

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.

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

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 funny…

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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.

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.

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?)

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

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).

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

Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental

The same way you get physically stronger…

3. Turn Off the AC

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

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Start with only 12–24 hours.
