Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.

1. Cold Showers
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
strength over time.
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.

toughness is to 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.
4. Meditate
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.

Our lives are way too easy.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.

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.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
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.
