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

What are some effective ways to cope with loss and grief?
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental

It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.

Try it… You’ll see.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
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).

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
Seriously.

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?)
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.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
strength isn’t rocket science.
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.
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.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
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.
One rep, one set, and one step at a 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.

1. Cold Showers
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.
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.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
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.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
toughness is to wake up earlier.
Plain and simple.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
So how do you cultivate mental

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.
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.
