Our lives are way too easy.

Does anyone in the Middle East even understand the reasons for the continuous conflicts as the reasons were understood when the conflicts all started? Is it possible that everything began when two ancient shepherds were playing tricks on each other?

Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.

But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.

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

My girlfriend told me that she wants to move in with me. I have my own apartment and I like my peace and quiet, but I also love her. We've been together for a year now. What should I do?

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.

Seriously.

So how do you cultivate mental

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

strength over time.

Start now, start small, and work your way up.

If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.

One rep, one set, and one step at a time.

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

If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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.

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?)

It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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.

And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

4. Meditate

Mental

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

5. Give Up a Vice

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.

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.

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

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

Plain and simple.

2. One More Rep

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.

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.

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