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.

Why do trans people get so deeply offended when a stranger misgenders them, especially when it's a first encounter? I've been socially transitioned for 4 years and it just feels like a waste of energy to be so hurt by it.

And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.

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.

Seriously.

It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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).

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.

Trump is shot, tackled by SS agents, yet then stands, defiant, with fist high, and 52 hours later, walks into the Republican Convention to thunderous applause. Is there anything that can stop this man, who loves his country? Does he get your vote?

One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental

Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.

What is something you want to "get off your chest"?

Plain and simple.

In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.

It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.

Why did McLaren hope that the Ferrari pair would pit twice during the Italian Grand Prix?

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.

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.

2. One More Rep

How do scammers communicate? Do they have a specific language or slang?

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

1. Cold Showers

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

The same way you get physically stronger…

One rep, one set, and one step at a time.

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.

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.

Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental

5. Give Up a Vice

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 just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental

But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

Try it… You’ll see.

Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.

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.
