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

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

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

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?)

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

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

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.

Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental

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

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.

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.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

2. One More Rep

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.

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.
