What are some common examples of human hypocrisy?
Plain and simple.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Why do all the stupid people think Donald J. Trump is stupid?
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.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
1. Cold Showers
3. Turn Off the AC
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
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.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Why are white women not interested in dating Asian men? Are they not attractive to you at all?
toughness is to wake up earlier.
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.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
When will dating stop being so hard for Gen Z?
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
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).
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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.
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.

as a Navy SEAL.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
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.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
2. One More Rep
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 are seriously wanting to give up a vice (like smoking or drinking), you’ll want to throw away anything that reminds you of it.
The same way you get physically stronger…
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.

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?)
