strength over time.
Seriously.
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.
3. Turn Off the AC
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
I’m just better at handling the suck.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
Plain and simple.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
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

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.

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

It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.

2. One More Rep
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.
5. Give Up a Vice
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
strength.
as a Navy SEAL.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
toughness by turning the AC off.
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.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
7. Go Through Hell Week
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.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
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 anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
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.
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.
Our lives are way too easy.
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 you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
The same way you get physically stronger…
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.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
toughness.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
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.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.

4. Meditate
strength isn’t rocket science.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
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.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
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.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
It’s funny…
