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).

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.

5. Give Up a Vice

7. Go Through Hell Week

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.

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.
