Seriously.
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

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.
strength?

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.
