2. One More Rep

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

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.

Why do Democrats keep calling Patriots/President Trump supporters "sore losers"? Do they purposefully ignore the massive fraud that took place, or genuinely think that there was zero fraud?

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

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

What is the belief about the existence of past lives and memories? Do we have knowledge of our past lives at birth or does it come back to us gradually?

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

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

Can you share some of your favorite jokes that are not well-known but always make people laugh?

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.

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

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

Republicans, why do you support Kamala Harris over Donald Trump?

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.

Why is it common for guys to sleep with 10-20 women then marry a good girl?

Seriously.

5. Give Up a Vice

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

Why can't flat-Earthers create an agency like NASA to explore Earth to prove it is flat? What's preventing them from doing so?

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

Another great way to boost your mental

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

I broke up with my boyfriend because he wasn’t transparent about his past, it hurts me and he doesn’t care. I told him in the beginning of our relationship that it was a deal breaker for me what do I do?

toughness.

So how do you cultivate mental

4. Meditate

Did you ever accidentally have sex with your brother/sister in India?

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

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

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

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.

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).

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 this off by doing it for one day.

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

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

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.

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.

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

1. Cold Showers

strength over time.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Mental

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Whether it’s total sobriety combined with waking up at 5 a.m., daily exercise, and no television for a week.Or simply one week of giving up your strongest addiction.

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.

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 are seriously wanting to give up a vice (like smoking or drinking), you’ll want to throw away anything that reminds you of it.

toughness is to meditate.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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

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.

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

Try it… You’ll see.

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

Plain and simple.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

toughness by turning the AC off.

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…
