4. Meditate

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

Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.

Why do Democrats never produce a good argument for why Trump was a bad president?

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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?)

strength over time.

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.

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.

It’s funny…

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.

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.

What's the deal with black women who wear straight hair or go bald?

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

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.

Seriously.

When will the new normal in the global economy return, following the panic caused by US President Donald Trump's tariff flip-flops?

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

Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

What was the most challenging shift you experienced as an ER physician? Can you describe the details and reasons behind it?

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.

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.

Recently, I cleared my JP Morgan coding round. Next, I received mail for a video interview. What kind of questions are asked in this round? How do I prepare myself?

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

Mental

strength.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Trump always acts like he was forced to be president, that he was chosen by God. Why do we put up with this? This maniac can't focus and get his mind off of being asskissed like an emperor.

So how do you cultivate mental

Another great way to boost your 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.

Are rich people harder workers than poor people as a whole?

toughness is to meditate.

1. Cold Showers

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Does anyone wear see-through clothes to show off underwear?

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.

It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

3. Turn Off the AC

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.

My mother has stage 4 ovarian cancer, and her oncologist proposed her six rounds of chemotherapy and 17 cycles of Avastin. What is your experience?

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

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

strength?

Plain and simple.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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.

2. One More Rep

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

Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.

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.

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

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

5. Give Up a Vice

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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

Our lives are way too easy.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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.

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).
