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.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
4. Meditate
Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.

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 want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
Plain and simple.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
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 it’s exactly how it sounds.
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.
It’s funny…
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
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.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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.
5. Give Up a Vice
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
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.
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

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.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
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?)
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
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).
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
