Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
toughness is to meditate.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
What blowjob techniques do you use for your man to cum inside your mouth?
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
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.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Start with only 12–24 hours.

When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.

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?)

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.
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.
4. Meditate
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Try it… You’ll see.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

strength isn’t rocket science.
1. Cold Showers
Our lives are way too easy.
Plain and simple.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental

toughness by turning the AC off.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
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.
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.
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.
strength over time.
Another great way to boost your mental
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).
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
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.
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.
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.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
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

Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.

5. Give Up a Vice
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.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
The same way you get physically stronger…
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.

2. One More Rep
Seriously.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
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.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
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.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
It’s funny…
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
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.
