Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

It’s funny…

When do you start "growing old"?

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.

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.

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

1. Cold Showers

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.

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

What's the hardest part about marriage that no one ever talks about?

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

strength?

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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”.

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

Another great way to boost your mental

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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.

strength over time.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

3. Turn Off the AC

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

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

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.

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

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.

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 if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental

as a Navy SEAL.

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.
