5. Give Up a Vice

What's the most valuable lesson you've learned in life, and how has it impacted your journey so far?

toughness is to meditate.

Plain and simple.

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

4. Meditate

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.

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

In the New Testament, Christ quotes the Ethiopian book of Enoch. How do the Sola Scriptura folks square this circle?

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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.

strength isn’t rocket science.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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

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.

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

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.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

The same way you get physically stronger…

So how do you cultivate mental

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

But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

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 to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.

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

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.

Seriously.

Try it… You’ll see.

3. Turn Off the AC

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?)

I’d challenge you to stretch your 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.
