5. Give Up a Vice

Mental

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

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

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

Plain and simple.

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

1. Cold Showers

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

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

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

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.

So how do you cultivate mental

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental

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

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.
