Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental

strength?

strength isn’t rocket science.

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.

toughness is to meditate.

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.

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

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.

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.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

How do you relax?

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

Plain and simple.

Why do narcissists devour so much sugar (candy, ice cream, donuts, etc., in huge amounts at a time)?

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

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.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.

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.

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?)

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

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.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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

2. One More Rep

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

1. Cold Showers

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.

Seriously.

5. Give Up a Vice

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.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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.

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 it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

The same way you get physically stronger…

Another great way to boost your mental

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.

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

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

4. Meditate

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).

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

So how do you cultivate mental

toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.

Try it… You’ll see.
