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.
5. Give Up a Vice
Start with only 12–24 hours.
2. One More Rep
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
So how do you cultivate mental
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.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental

This exercise will teach you to keep going even when things are hard and, if applied regularly, will help you become mentally tougher than any other person you know.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
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.
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).
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
Try it… You’ll see.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.

Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
