toughness is to wake up earlier.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Are people who cite the 2nd Amendment honestly familiar with what it establishes?
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental

What does it mean when someone is pretending to be me?
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
Plain and simple.
Another great way to boost your mental
Why are there so many single moms in America?
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
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
Why are people becoming increasingly hostile to pro-lifers? I am pro-life.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.

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

It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
What is an easy way to get your driver's license?
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
as a Navy SEAL.
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.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.

strength isn’t rocket science.

toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
What do you think of Obito Uchiha?
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
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?)
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.
Is TikTok becoming a platform for soft porn?
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.
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.
Why is the word "democracy" not in the preamble of the US Constitution?
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.
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
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.
4. Meditate
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
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.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
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.

Start now, start small, and work your way up.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
7. Go Through Hell Week

The same way you get physically stronger…
3. Turn Off the AC
2. One More Rep
Our lives are way too easy.
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.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
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.
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).
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
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.
So how do you cultivate mental

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
