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
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.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
How can I stop overthinking and take action more quickly?
Try it… You’ll see.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Start with only 12–24 hours.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.

7. Go Through Hell Week
Is it wise to choose your family over your honor?
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.
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.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.

If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
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.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
It’s funny…
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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?)
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
3. Turn Off the AC
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
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.
strength over time.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
2. One More Rep
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
Another great way to boost your mental
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.
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.

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
Seriously.
4. Meditate
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
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…
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
strength?
strength.
So how do you cultivate 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.
5. Give Up a Vice
toughness is to wake up earlier.
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.
