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

Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
Plain and simple.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.

It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
strength isn’t rocket science.
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.

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Start this off by doing it for one day.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
What would happen if Kakashi and Naruto switched places?
Our lives are way too easy.
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.
7. Go Through Hell Week
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.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
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).
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.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
strength over time.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
2. One More Rep

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.
3. Turn Off the AC
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

toughness by turning the AC off.
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.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
It’s funny…
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.

Try it… You’ll see.
toughness is to meditate.
So how do you cultivate mental
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
strength.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
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.
5. Give Up a Vice
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.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
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?)
toughness is to wake up earlier.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental

4. Meditate

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.
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.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
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
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
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.
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.
The same way you get physically stronger…
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
