7. Go Through Hell Week

toughness is to wake up earlier.

What does it mean if I had a dream about my mom who passed 12 years ago waking up from her coma and asking for my dad? I have never had a dreams about her since she has been gone.

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

3. Turn Off the AC

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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.

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

4. Meditate

toughness is to meditate.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

2. One More Rep

Do Indian guys like African girls?

When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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).

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.

The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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.

Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.

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

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

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.

Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.

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.

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.

1. Cold Showers

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.

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

Plain and simple.

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.

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.

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.
