Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

Humans have evolved and become hairless and odor free. How do other races learn about evolution since evolution does not apply to them?

Why do flat earthers think using globetrotter, globetard, and other insults will make the educated arguer fall for the silly flat-earth belief?

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Should Pete Rose's record as the all-time hits leader be recognized and celebrated?

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.

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

Start now, start small, and work your way up.

Why do people mourn when their leaders lose elections? Is it common for people to cry over events that are out of their control?

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

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

Does the West have a defense against China's PL17 air-air missile?

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.

So how do you cultivate mental

If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.

Can you give an example of a documentary where the person telling the story believed it to be true, but it turned out to be false?

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

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).

Have you ever accidentally found out that you were about to be fired?

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

Another great way to boost your mental

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Plain and simple.

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

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.

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

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.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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.

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental

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

3. Turn Off the AC

Try it… You’ll see.

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

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?)

strength over time.

4. Meditate

If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.

2. One More Rep

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.

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.

strength?

Start this off by doing it for one day.

toughness.

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

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

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 .

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