In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

5. Give Up a Vice
What happens when you have paranoid schizophrenia?
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.
Another great way to boost 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.
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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
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.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
Plain and simple.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
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.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.

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