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

1. Cold Showers

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.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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.

But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.

Mental

Are miracles real or do they just have natural explanations?

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

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.

3. Turn Off the AC

Isn’t freedom of speech and expression an absolute right?

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

One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental

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

From an axiology/value theory point of view, how can one say that a diverse society is better than a uniform one, especially given the negative effects of diversity (racism, sectarian conflict, problems arising from extreme cultural relativism)?

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

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?)

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

One rep, one set, and one step at a time.

Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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.

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

It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.

Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

7. Go Through Hell Week

And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.

So how do you cultivate mental

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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.

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.
