Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
Start with only 12–24 hours.

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.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of 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.
And it’s exactly how 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.

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.
5. Give Up a Vice
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.

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.
Our lives are way too easy.
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.
