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.

5. Give Up a Vice
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?)
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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
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.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
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.
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
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.
7. Go Through Hell Week
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
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.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
1. Cold Showers
strength?
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.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
Plain and simple.
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.
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.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
So how do you cultivate mental
toughness is to wake up earlier.

I’m just better at handling the suck.
2. One More Rep
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
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).
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
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.
The same way you get physically stronger…
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
Seriously.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
