But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Plain and simple.
Can you provide some examples of music with a free form structure?
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.
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.

toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
5. Give Up a Vice
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
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.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
If white people had been slaves, would WLM be a thing right now?
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
Why do only ugly women like me on Tinder? Is it because I'm an ugly man?
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
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.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.

2. One More Rep
How can I decorate my house creatively?
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Why are men so attracted to big breasts?
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 out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
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).

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
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.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.

7. Go Through Hell Week
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.

If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
strength over time.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
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.
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.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test 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.
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.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
