But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test 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.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
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.

Another great way to boost your mental
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 it’s exactly how it sounds.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
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.

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.
4. Meditate
What is the difference between the terms "Millennials" and "kids"?

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
My friend asked my crush and he said my crush hates me but not in a rude way. What does that mean?
toughness is to meditate.
Seriously.

1. Cold Showers
Mental
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
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.
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
So how do you cultivate mental
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.

strength over time.
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 want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
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?)
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
