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.

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

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.

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

Plain and simple.

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.

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.

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.

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

1. Cold Showers

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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

Our lives are way too easy.

It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your 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.

One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

It’s funny…

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

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

4. Meditate

strength isn’t rocket science.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

So how do you cultivate mental

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

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

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