One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
Start with only 12–24 hours.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental

strength.
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
Have you ever been forced into bestiality?

Why are Republican politicians so afraid to oppose Trump?
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 just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
The same way you get physically stronger…
Another great way to boost your mental
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?)
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
2. One More Rep
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
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.
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.
toughness.
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 by turning the AC off.
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.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
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.
7. Go Through Hell Week
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
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.
4. Meditate
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
Mental
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.

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