But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
toughness.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
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?)
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
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
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
4. Meditate
Which feels physically better for guys: vaginal sex or anal sex?
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.
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.

Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
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.
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.
Have you ever had sex with sisters?
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.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Seriously.
Start with only 12–24 hours.

So how do you cultivate mental

3. Turn Off the AC
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
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.
strength isn’t rocket science.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
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
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
5. Give Up a Vice

It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
toughness by turning the AC off.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
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.
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.
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
The same way you get physically stronger…
Our lives are way too easy.
