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.

7. Go Through Hell Week

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

This exercise will teach you to keep going even when things are hard and, if applied regularly, will help you become mentally tougher than any other person you know.

Our lives are way too easy.

It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
