The same way you get physically stronger…
1. Cold Showers
2. One More Rep
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 with only 12–24 hours.
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.

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then 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.
4. Meditate
3. Turn Off the AC

Our lives are way too easy.
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.
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.
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.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
Start this off by doing it for one day.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.

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

Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
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.
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.
Try it… You’ll see.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
