Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .
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.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
What do you think hell is like?
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
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
strength isn’t rocket science.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental

3. Turn Off the AC
Another great way to boost your mental
toughness is to wake up earlier.
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.
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).
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.
Plain and simple.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
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.
1. Cold Showers
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
toughness is to meditate.
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.
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?)
Try it… You’ll see.
toughness by turning the AC off.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.

So how do you cultivate mental
strength.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
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.
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.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
4. Meditate

Start this off by doing it for one day.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.

It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
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 anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
2. One More Rep
Seriously.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
