Why is the left keep misrepresenting what Trump said about his daughter? When asked if he would date her if he weren’t her father, it simply reflected pride in raising a smart, respectful, and loving daughter with good morals all men want that no?

So how do you cultivate mental

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.

Try pushing yourself to see how long you can go and, eventually, you’ll wonder why you used climate control in the first place (maybe not… But you’ll still be mentally tougher).

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

Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.

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.

If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.

Seriously.

But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

2. One More Rep

Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental

Start this off by doing it for one day.

The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.

toughness.

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

as a Navy SEAL.
