It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
The same way you get physically stronger…

Start this off by doing it for one day.
toughness is to meditate.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
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 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”.
Try it… You’ll see.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a 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.
Mental
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
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.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
3. Turn Off the AC
as 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).
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.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
7. Go Through Hell Week
Plain and simple.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
2. One More Rep
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.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
Our lives are way too easy.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
It’s funny…
1. Cold Showers
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
5. Give Up a Vice
strength.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
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.
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.
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.

toughness by turning the AC off.
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.
Seriously.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
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.
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.
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.
strength over time.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
