But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.

5. Give Up a Vice
Our lives are way too easy.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.

So how do you cultivate mental
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
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.
