6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
It’s funny…
Have you ever witnessed political correctness harm someone?
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Seriously.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
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.

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.
4. Meditate
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
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.
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 funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
Our lives are way too easy.

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.
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.
2. One More Rep
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.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.

Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.

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.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
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.
