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.

1. Cold Showers

If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.

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

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.

Is it possible that my TF caused a kundalini awakening in another person? He is famous because He is a singer. We have not met physically yet, but I have gone through kundalini awakening and DNOTS and their ongoing. I have also had soul recognition so I know for sure that He is my Divine Counterpart and I do not have any doubts about it. But it is indeed perplexing that somebody had an awakening at the physical level because of Him. Is it a test for me? I have a mixture of feelings. On one hand I marvelled at Him and empathised with the person and on the other, I doubt if this just a test for me. I would appreciate your pov. Thank you for much.

Our lives are way too easy.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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.

My parents force me (15yo atheist) to go to church, and there’s this thing called Small Sundays where we discuss the Bible in groups, there are questions asked about the Bible. What am I supposed to do when they ask?

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.

Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

What are the main issues that have historically and currently divided Republicans and Democrats?

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?)

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

How did you become popular in school?

But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.

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

It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental

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

It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.

When sharing a wife, is it best with your buddy or a stranger?

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.

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

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

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

One rep, one set, and one step at a time.

So how do you cultivate mental

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.

4. Meditate

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.

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.

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.

strength isn’t rocket science.

Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
