Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every 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.

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.

Isn't it ironic people always talk about how much women hate Donald Trump, when almost any of them would marry him if they could? What he said in the 2005 Billy Bush video, almost every woman would share the sentiment if it got them his lifestyle.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

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

2. One More Rep

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.

I have received a fake legal notice, with unreachable phone number and unidentified address and fake lawyer enrollment number. The notice has caused my family severe stress. I know the person who might have done this illegal act. What should I do?

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

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.

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.

Why do men always bring up “the draft” (the last military draft was in 1972) when abortion rights are being discussed? - are they advocating that women ought to owe our bodies to the government? Should anyone owe their body to the state?

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.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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.

Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.

And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.

Plain and simple.

strength over time.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.

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

Seriously.

toughness by turning the AC off.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

It’s funny…

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

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your 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

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.

3. Turn Off the AC

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).

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.

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

Our lives are way too easy.

It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental

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

5. Give Up a Vice

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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?)

One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.
