I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
Why do some people have loving parents and some do not?
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?)
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.

When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
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.
2. 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 it… You’ll see.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
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

3. Turn Off the AC
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
The same way you get physically stronger…
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.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
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.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
What is your daily motivation and does it work?
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
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.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.

So how do you cultivate mental
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.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
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.

It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
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.
