Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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.

When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.

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.

4. Meditate

strength over time.

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

Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.

1. Cold Showers

strength?

as a Navy SEAL.

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.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

2. One More Rep

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.

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

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.

Our lives are way too easy.
