How do I become mentally strong?

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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.

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?)

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