5. Give Up a Vice

Start this off by doing it for one day.

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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.

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

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.

Seriously.

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

Why do some people refuse to explain their actions or behavior when asked? Why do they claim to not know the reason instead of providing an explanation?

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Mental

If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.

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

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

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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

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.

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.

toughness.

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

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental

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.
