as a Navy SEAL.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
Why cant I motivate myself to go to school (grade 10)?
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.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
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.

5. Give Up a Vice
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
Try it… You’ll see.

Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
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.

strength over time.
It’s funny…
Another great way to boost your mental
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.
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.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Plain and simple.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

Mental
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.
So how do you cultivate mental
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).
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
toughness is to meditate.
strength isn’t rocket science.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
7. Go Through Hell Week
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
2. One More Rep
Seriously.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
The same way you get physically stronger…
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 out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
toughness.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
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?)
4. Meditate
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.
Our lives are way too easy.
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.

If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
strength.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
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.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
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.
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
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
