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 21 pushups instead of 20.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
as a Navy SEAL.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
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.

2. One More Rep
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
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?)
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.

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.
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.

If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
strength isn’t rocket science.
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.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
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.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.

3. Turn Off the AC
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.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
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.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
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.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
Plain and simple.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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.
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.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
Seriously.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
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
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
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 small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
