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 this off by doing it for one 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.

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

7. Go Through Hell Week
What should I do if a girl whom I love asks me to be her friend?
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
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.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
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.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
5. Give Up a Vice
What are some common examples of condescending behavior?
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.

Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
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.
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
toughness is to meditate.
Another great way to boost your mental
Our lives are way too easy.
strength isn’t rocket science.
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).

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