Overthinking is killing me day-by-day. What should I do?
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.
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.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
1. Cold Showers
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.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
strength isn’t rocket science.
toughness is to meditate.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
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.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
strength.

So apply these strategies slowly. Take small steps and challenge yourself to get 1% tougher every day. After a year has gone by, you’ll be 365% tougher than you were the previous year.

Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Increase the amount of time you spend in the cold by only 10–30 seconds a week and, after a few months, you’ll be able to take 10 minute cold showers with ease.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
Another great way to boost your mental
Start with only 12–24 hours.
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.
Plain and simple.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
2. One More Rep
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.
