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

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.

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.
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.

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.
toughness is to meditate.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
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).
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.

If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
toughness.
Seriously.
2. One More Rep
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
4. Meditate
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.
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.
So how do you cultivate mental
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.

Our lives are way too easy.
strength over time.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
7. Go Through Hell Week
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build 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.
Try it… You’ll see.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
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?)
5. Give Up a Vice
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
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
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
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.
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.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
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.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
It’s funny…
strength isn’t rocket science.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
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.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
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.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
