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.
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.

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.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.

3. Turn Off the AC
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
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
Is there anything you did that you regret? If so, what is it, and why?

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
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?)
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.

4. Meditate
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.
