In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
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.

But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

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.
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?)
I’m just better at handling the suck.

Another great way to boost your mental
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
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).

strength over time.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
5. Give Up a Vice
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.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
1. Cold Showers
Mental
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
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.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.

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.
Try it… You’ll see.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
3. Turn Off the AC
The same way you get physically stronger…
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
Plain and simple.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
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.
