Is it okay for my husband to help other ladies without telling me?
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.

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.

Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
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.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
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.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
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.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
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.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
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.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
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
1. Cold Showers
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?)
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
