6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Another great way to boost your mental

What are some creepy bestiality-promoting questions obviously asked for sexual gratification?

toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.

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.

Try it… You’ll see.

What can I do when I'm ugly on both outside and inside? What do I do? Cut myself off from the world to make everyones lives better? I'm a monster. I hurt feelings, and I say what was said to me. I feel like I'm nothing but a burden. What do I do?

1. Cold Showers

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

What would be the lowest score with 9 strikes and no gutter balls?

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

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.

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.

If women see themselves as free, dignified, human beings just as good as men, can Trump hang it up and just lose in a landslide at last? How can men who like and respect women help improve womens' self-esteem?

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

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

Our lives are way too easy.

5. Give Up a Vice

What is the difference between the Bible and the Qur'an?

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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.

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Plain and simple.

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

toughness is to wake up earlier.

4. Meditate

Why are US customs agents so talkative? I cringed hard when a US customs agent asked me if I was on vacation. He doesn’t need to know why I went to another country as long as I am a U.S. citizen.

So how do you cultivate mental

strength.

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

Would you let your partner cheat on you every now and again?

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

Seriously.

Would you raise your children like your parents raised you?

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

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.

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

It’s funny…

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?)

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.

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.

2. One More Rep

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

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.

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 now, start small, and work your way up.

as a Navy SEAL.

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

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

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).

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

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.

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

strength?

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

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