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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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.

Seriously.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
So how do you cultivate mental

Start this off by doing it for one day.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
4. Meditate

Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
