When do you feel most peaceful ever?

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?)

In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.

4. Meditate

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Why do narcissists devour so much sugar (candy, ice cream, donuts, etc., in huge amounts at a time)?

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

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

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.

Why do Puerto Ricans come to this country flying their flags over in the United States all over their cars? They're so proud of their country. Why are they here?

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

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.

It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.

Seriously.

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

1. Cold Showers

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.

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

One rep, one set, and one step at a time.

Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

5. Give Up a Vice

strength isn’t rocket science.

7. Go Through 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.

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.

Try it… You’ll see.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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.

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 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

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

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.

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