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.

5. Give Up a Vice
If you are seriously wanting to give up a vice (like smoking or drinking), you’ll want to throw away anything that reminds you of it.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.

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.
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.

strength isn’t rocket science.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.

Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
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
