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.
Try it… You’ll see.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
The same way you get physically stronger…
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.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
What is a fun psychological trick to try on someone?
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 majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
Seriously.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
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.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental

5. Give Up a Vice
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.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.

Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Why do I sweat (mostly on face) when I eat usually spicy food?
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.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
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.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental

1. Cold Showers
Does a person with schizophrenia hear voices?
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
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?)
3. Turn Off the AC
Start this off by doing it for one day.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
2. One More Rep
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental

toughness is to wake up earlier.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
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).

Mental
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.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
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.
Plain and simple.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as 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.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
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.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every 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
