One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
1. Cold Showers
toughness is to meditate.
What is your review of Kota Factory Season 3 (TVF Original)?
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 out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.

Another great way to boost your mental
Start now, start small, and work your way up.

3. Turn Off the AC
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
Is having white skin really that attractive?
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
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.
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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.
toughness by turning the AC off.
2. One More Rep
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.
5. Give Up a Vice
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.

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.
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.

Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
Our lives are way too easy.
Do any other guys like to eat cum of another man from their wife's pussy?
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
The same way you get physically stronger…
Can a cop pull you over walking home asking why you are out so late?
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
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.
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 with only 12–24 hours.
Try it… You’ll see.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
Why do I want to give up on men?
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
strength over time.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
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.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
Plain and simple.
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.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
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
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
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.
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.
strength isn’t rocket science.

So how do you cultivate mental
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.
Mental
It’s funny…
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.
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).
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
Seriously.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.

4. Meditate
strength.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
