Plain and simple.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
toughness by turning the AC off.
Have you ever gone to a porn theater with your wife?
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.
The same way you get physically stronger…
toughness is to meditate.
What thing happened to you as a child that you haven’t let go of to this day?
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.

Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
toughness.
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 did Donald Trump look so old during the debate?
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.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Do you have pics of the wife making out with another guy?
Seriously.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
Start with only 12–24 hours.
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.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
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.
Does Taylor Swift actually play the guitar, or is it a prop?
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.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
So how do you cultivate mental
What is the best way to get my wife to become a hotwife?
Try it… You’ll see.
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).
In what circumstances might a chaperone be appropriate for a medical examination?
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
It’s funny…
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
2. One More Rep
1. Cold Showers
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
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.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like 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.
3. Turn Off the AC
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.
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?)
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
Mental
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
5. Give Up a Vice
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.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
Another great way to boost your mental
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
Our lives are way too easy.

as a Navy SEAL.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
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.
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.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
4. Meditate
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
strength?
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
strength isn’t rocket science.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
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
strength over time.
7. Go Through Hell Week
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
