If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
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.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
What habits do happy couples have?
It’s funny…
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

toughness.
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).
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
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.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
What are some hard truths that MAGA needs to hear?
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
7. Go Through Hell Week
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
What do you think about a sister's love?
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.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
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.

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.
strength over time.
3. Turn Off the AC
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
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
strength isn’t rocket science.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Has any man licked his wife's vagina while another man had sex with her?
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.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
I’m just better at handling the suck.

5. Give Up a Vice
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
4. Meditate
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.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
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.
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 just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
Start this off by doing it for one day.
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.

The same way you get physically stronger…
2. One More Rep
as a Navy SEAL.
strength?
Another great way to boost your mental
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
strength.
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.
One rep, one set, and one step at a 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.
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.

Our lives are way too easy.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Try it… You’ll see.
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.
Plain and simple.
