Try it… You’ll see.
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.

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 all armies have the same rank structure?
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

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

Another great way to boost your mental
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
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.

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.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
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.
If you are seriously wanting to give up a vice (like smoking or drinking), you’ll want to throw away anything that reminds you of it.

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

And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
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.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
