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

Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.

What's the most valuable lesson you've learned in life, and how has it impacted your journey so far?

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

Our lives are way too easy.

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 are fewer English people going to their local pubs for a drink? Are they aware that many pubs are shutting down due to lack of customers?

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.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

7. Go Through Hell Week

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.

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.

Why do some people believe that Homelander would be no match for Superman or Thor?

In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.

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.

2. One More Rep

Why do I sweat so much? I’m 17 but I feel like I always need to re-apply deodorant and I am always self-conscious that I smell because I feel sweat under my arms.

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

How do you have intercourse with a girl who can remember you for a long time?

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

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

Try it… You’ll see.

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).

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

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

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.

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

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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

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

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?)

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

5. Give Up a Vice

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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.

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

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.

One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
