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.
Plain and simple.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.

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

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.

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
What is something brutally honest that needs to be said?
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
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
7. Go Through Hell Week
Is The Last of Us Part 2 really as woke as people say it is?
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.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
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.
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.
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).
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
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?)
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.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
Try it… You’ll see.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
toughness is to meditate.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.

Our lives are way too easy.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
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.

strength isn’t rocket science.
