And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.

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).

It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental

So how do you cultivate mental
Try it… You’ll see.
4. Meditate
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
5. Give Up a Vice
3. Turn Off the AC
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.

The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
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.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Another great way to boost your mental

Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.

Mental
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.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
