5. Give Up a Vice

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

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

2. One More Rep

Another great way to boost your mental

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.

1. Cold Showers

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.

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.

When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.

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

3. Turn Off the AC

It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.

Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.

Plain and simple.

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.

strength isn’t rocket science.

If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
