Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.

Why do all the stupid people think Donald J. Trump is stupid?
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
It’s funny…

Start this off by doing it for one day.

3. Turn Off the AC
Seriously.
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.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
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

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

It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
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.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
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.

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.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
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?)
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
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.
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.

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).
The same way you get physically stronger…
2. One More Rep
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
