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

7. Go Through Hell Week
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 this off by doing it for one day.
Plain and simple.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
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.
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.
So how do you cultivate mental
Seriously.
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.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

5. Give Up a Vice
strength?
1. Cold Showers
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.
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.
3. Turn Off the AC
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?)
The same way you get physically stronger…
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.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
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.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.

Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Another great way to boost your mental
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
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
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
