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.
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.

Our lives are way too easy.

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.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
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.
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)
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
7. Go Through Hell Week
Here are a few ideas to get you started .

In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
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
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.

Another great way to boost your mental
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental

But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
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.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
