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.

Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental

strength over time.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
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.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
