Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
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.

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
The same way you get physically stronger…
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.

7. Go Through Hell Week
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.
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.

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.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.

But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
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?)
5. Give Up a Vice
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
Our lives are way too easy.
strength isn’t rocket science.
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.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of 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.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.

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).
Plain and simple.
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.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
