When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
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.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
strength isn’t rocket science.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
strength.
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.
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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Try it… You’ll see.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
1. Cold Showers
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
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.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.

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

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.
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.

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

So how do you cultivate mental
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
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
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.
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.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
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).
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of 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.
Seriously.
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 just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental

In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
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.

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.
