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

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

Our lives are way too easy.

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

How did you become popular in school?

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?)

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

Why can't the ISS take a picture of Earth and prove to the Flat Earth Society that Earth is not really flat?

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

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

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.

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.

Plain and simple.

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

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

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

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

Try it… You’ll see.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

1. Cold Showers

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.

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.

2. One More Rep

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

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.

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
