It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
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.
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.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.

2. One More Rep
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
The same way you get physically stronger…
strength isn’t rocket science.
Our lives are way too easy.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
Seriously.
3. Turn Off the AC
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
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 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.

If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
4. Meditate
1. Cold Showers
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.
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.
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.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
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
toughness is to wake up earlier.
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.

But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
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.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
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.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
It’s funny…
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
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?)
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
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.
One rep, one set, and one step at a 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.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
