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

One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental

Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.

Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

3. Turn Off the AC

toughness is to meditate.

This exercise will teach you to keep going even when things are hard and, if applied regularly, will help you become mentally tougher than any other person you know.
