5. Give Up a Vice
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
Plain and simple.

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.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.

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.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
Try it… You’ll see.
4. Meditate
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.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
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.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
