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.

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

strength.

5. Give Up a Vice

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

Plain and simple.

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

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

Seriously.

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

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

Another great way to boost your mental

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.
