Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental

Start now, start small, and work your way up.

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.

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.

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.
