It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
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.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
How do you get a girl to like you?
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.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Why are black people harassed more by police officers?
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
4. Meditate
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental

The same way you get physically stronger…
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
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?)
toughness is to wake up earlier.
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.
What happens to single guys when they get older?
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 women like men who have slept with many women?
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.
Plain and simple.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
What was your first experience like with a black man?
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
1. Cold Showers
Why do liberals think it is okay to steal votes while the rest of us obey the law(s)?
Our lives are way too easy.
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
strength?
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
2. One More Rep
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.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
5. Give Up a Vice
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
Try it… You’ll see.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
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.
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.
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.

toughness is to meditate.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
7. Go Through Hell Week
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).
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.
Another great way to boost your mental
3. Turn Off the AC
I’m just better at handling the suck.
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.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
