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

1. Cold Showers

Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.

It’s funny…

Leave a bowl of candy on the table. Leave an open pack of cigarettes in your office. Go to an, *ahem* “gentlemanly” website and leave it open in a minimized browser.

4. Meditate

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

Our lives are way too easy.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
