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.
I’m just better at handling the suck.

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.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.

Start this off by doing it for one day.
Another great way to boost your mental
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
There’s nothing quite like intentionally subjecting yourself to frigid waters and saying “No” to the wonderful warmth of a hot shower when it’s only one twist of the handle away requires insane amounts of discipline and grit.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
toughness is to meditate.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.

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
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
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.
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.
strength isn’t rocket science.
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.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
