What do most wives fantasize about?
Seriously.

Another great way to boost your mental
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.

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.

If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
