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
3. Turn Off the AC
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.

1. Cold Showers
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
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.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
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.

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.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
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.
What does the Turkish word çıplak mean?
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.

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
Another great way to boost your mental
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
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.

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.
