Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental

4. Meditate

Seriously.

Why have feminists not demanded that females be required to register with the selective service? Are female lives more precious than male lives?

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

5. Give Up a Vice

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

How can you tell if someone or someone's is trying to recruit or at least test you for a secret organization?

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.

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

What's your love story?

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?)

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental

Mental

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental

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).

I’m just better at handling the suck.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.

So how do you cultivate mental

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.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

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.

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

as a Navy SEAL.

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

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

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 are seriously wanting to give up a vice (like smoking or drinking), you’ll want to throw away anything that reminds you of it.

strength isn’t rocket science.

3. Turn Off the AC

toughness by turning the AC off.

Our lives are way too easy.

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.

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

7. Go Through 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.

The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
