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

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

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.

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.

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

So how do you cultivate 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.

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

Is love natural, or is it somehow created?

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?)

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.

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

2. One More Rep

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

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

Our lives are way too easy.

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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.

Seriously.

strength?

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

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.

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

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.
