2. One More Rep

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

1. Cold Showers

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Is it sinful for Christians to look at beautiful women?

The same way you get physically stronger…

toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.

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

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

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.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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

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

4. Meditate

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

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.

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Plain and simple.

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.

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

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.

strength over time.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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.

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?)

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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.

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
