My husband asked me why do I keep on complaining about him cheating. Why don't I just leave?

toughness.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
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.

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.

But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
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
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.

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.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
toughness is to meditate.
Challenge yourself to do something seemingly impossible for a short amount of time and you will walk away with more mental toughness than you’ve ever had before.
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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
Seriously.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.

It’s funny…

7. Go Through Hell Week
2. One More Rep
4. Meditate
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
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.
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.
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
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.
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.

If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
strength isn’t rocket science.
DON’T do this on the bench press or squat rack if you don’t have a spotter (there’s nothing mentally tough about breaking your back or killing yourself ok?)

Plain and simple.
Not only will you be saving the environment and helping retrain your body to internally regulate your temperature, but you’ll become stronger by saying “no” to ease, and “yes” to adversity.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
Another great way to boost your mental
