It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.

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

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.

Why do we still feel attached or jealous when a covert narcissist moves on, even after realizing their toxicity and the suffering they caused?

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

It’s funny…

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.

Trump is going to target known criminals in the country illegally for deportation. The Democrats have vowed to fight him every step of the way. Don't they understand this is one of the issues that cost them the white house, the house and senate?

1. Cold Showers

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

toughness is to meditate.

Who was the guy that had sex with the AIDS monkey?

Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.

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?)

If everyone hates censorship so much, why do those “censorship-free” alternative social media sites always fail?

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

Seriously.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

The same way you get physically stronger…

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

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.

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.

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

But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental

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

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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.

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

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test 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.

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.

Start now, start small, and work your way up.

If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.

strength isn’t rocket science.

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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
