Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
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.
Why do so many autistic adults deal with self-hatred?
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
strength?
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
Can you tell me something about yourself?
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
5. Give Up a Vice
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
1. Cold Showers
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
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.
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?)
Are you afraid to get married and why?
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.
Seriously.
toughness is to meditate.
According to Trump, Ukraine started the war. Why?
The same way you get physically stronger…
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
What is your favorite cuckold experience?
Start this off by doing it for one day.
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.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
What type of sex do women prefer, oral, anal, or vaginal?
Plain and simple.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
Is it true that all men want a woman who looks like an Instagram “model”?
toughness is to wake up earlier.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Mental
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
2. One More Rep
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
One rep, one set, and one step at a 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.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
7. Go Through Hell Week
as a Navy SEAL.
Another great way to boost your mental
strength isn’t rocket science.
Try it… You’ll see.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
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.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
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.
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.
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.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
It’s funny…

One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build 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).
Our lives are way too easy.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
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.
toughness.
So how do you cultivate mental
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.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
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.

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
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.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
