1. Cold Showers

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

Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental

Why can't they repair the damage caused by Elon Musk renaming Twitter to X?

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.

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

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.

2. One More Rep

How do you know when someone really loves you?

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).

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.

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

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

Mental

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.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Our lives are way too easy.

3. Turn Off the AC

Plain and simple.

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.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.

When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.

If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.

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

One rep, one set, and one step at a time.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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?)

as a Navy SEAL.

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.

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

Seriously.

It’s funny…

toughness is to meditate.

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

strength isn’t rocket science.

Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.

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.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

toughness by turning the AC off.

It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
