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.

toughness.

Trump always acts like he was forced to be president, that he was chosen by God. Why do we put up with this? This maniac can't focus and get his mind off of being asskissed like an emperor.

Does turmeric help fight cancer? If so, how?

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

Ok, so this is a question seeking an answer to clear up whatever gymnastics are in my head. I'm a moderately attractive guy, sincere heart, genuinely looking to love another, established. Why don't women that I'm attracted to, want me back?

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Why have feminists not demanded that females be required to register with the selective service? Are female lives more precious than male lives?

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Another great way to boost your mental

Seriously.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

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.

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

It’s funny…

strength?

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

5. Give Up a Vice

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.

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.

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

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.

Plain and simple.

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental

4. Meditate

3. Turn Off the AC

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.

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).

Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.

toughness is to meditate.

But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

Try it… You’ll see.
