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.

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.

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

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.

Plain and simple.

Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.

Start now, start small, and work your way up.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.

But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.

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

One rep, one set, and one step at a time.

1. Cold Showers

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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.

It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.

5. Give Up a Vice

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Mental

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.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

DON’T do this on the bench press or squat rack if you don’t have a spotter (there’s nothing mentally tough about breaking your back or killing yourself ok?)

strength?

toughness is to meditate.

4. Meditate

So how do you cultivate mental

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.

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

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.
