2. One More Rep
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
Another great way to boost your mental
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.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
What is the happy reality of our generation?
I’m just better at handling the suck.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.
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.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
5. Give Up a Vice
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.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.

strength isn’t rocket science.
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.
Start with only 12–24 hours.

4. Meditate
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
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.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
1. Cold Showers
Our lives are way too easy.
Try it… You’ll see.
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

It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
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.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
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.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
