Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
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
The same way you get physically stronger…
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
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.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .

toughness is to meditate.
5. Give Up a Vice
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
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.
Try pushing yourself to see how long you can go and, eventually, you’ll wonder why you used climate control in the first place (maybe not… But you’ll still be mentally tougher).

2. One More Rep
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
4. Meditate
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.
