Try it… You’ll see.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

toughness is to meditate.

Is it possible that my TF caused a kundalini awakening in another person? He is famous because He is a singer. We have not met physically yet, but I have gone through kundalini awakening and DNOTS and their ongoing. I have also had soul recognition so I know for sure that He is my Divine Counterpart and I do not have any doubts about it. But it is indeed perplexing that somebody had an awakening at the physical level because of Him. Is it a test for me? I have a mixture of feelings. On one hand I marvelled at Him and empathised with the person and on the other, I doubt if this just a test for me. I would appreciate your pov. Thank you for much.

1. Cold Showers

Mental

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

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

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

What are examples of real life forced feminization?

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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 this off by doing it for one day.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Plain and simple.

Our lives are way too easy.

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.

strength over time.

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

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

So how do you cultivate mental

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

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.

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

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

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

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?)

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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

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

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

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.

as a Navy SEAL.

Seriously.

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

2. One More Rep

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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.

3. Turn Off the AC

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

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.
