Another great way to boost your mental
toughness by turning the AC off.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental

So how do you cultivate mental
1. Cold Showers

Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
Seriously.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Why is it common for guys to sleep with 10-20 women then marry a good girl?
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.

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

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

The same way you get physically stronger…
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.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
Try it… You’ll see.
Why do Democrats call any Republican "Magats", like they are subhuman?
Start with only 12–24 hours.
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.
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.
Can being annoyed be a sign of getting angry?
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.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Plain and simple.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a 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
Do you prefer wired headphones or wireless earbuds?
And it’s exactly how it sounds.

toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
Our lives are way too easy.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
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.
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.
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.
toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

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).
3. Turn Off the AC
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.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
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.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.

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