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 same way you get physically stronger…
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.

If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
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.

4. Meditate
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
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.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
Another great way to boost your mental
And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental

When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.

The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.

toughness is to meditate.
