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
Here are a few ideas to get you started .

I have a bad reputation and need help. What should I do?
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’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental

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 out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
Our lives are way too easy.
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.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
3. Turn Off the AC
Start this off by doing it for one day.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
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.

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 if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
It’s funny…
Seriously.
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.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
5. Give Up a Vice
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
2. One More Rep
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
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.
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.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
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.
