How do I become mentally strong?

strength isn’t rocket science.

Try pushing yourself to see how long you can go and, eventually, you’ll wonder why you used climate control in the first place (maybe not… But you’ll still be mentally tougher).

toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.

It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental

toughness.

Why is Reagan seen as the best president in the USA when he literally destroyed the American economy with trickle down system and was strongly against worker unions?

3. Turn Off the AC

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Who has experienced what they called a happy accident (bestiality)?

Start now, start small, and work your way up.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

strength over time.

Why do Democrats keep calling Patriots/President Trump supporters "sore losers"? Do they purposefully ignore the massive fraud that took place, or genuinely think that there was zero fraud?

5. Give Up a Vice

Plain and simple.

Seriously.

What are some alternatives to wearing a bra? Why do some women feel pressure to wear bras even though there may not be any benefits?

Add 1–2 minutes each week and, overtime, not only will you be mentally tougher, but you’ll be more present, less stressed, and more productive in your everyday life.

It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Why do I sweat a great deal while exercising the same on some days and not so much on others?

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.

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Has your wife or girlfriend ever been felt up in public by a stranger?

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.

Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.

Try it… You’ll see.

How can a native English speaker say "it was nice talking to you" in French without using that exact phrase?

7. Go Through Hell Week

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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.

Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.

1. Cold Showers

What baseball stories from the early days of the sport seem too bizarre to be true?

toughness by turning the AC off.

It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.

Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.

Have you ever been forced to dress like a girl?

Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.

Why does my narcissistic ex told me that he f*cked and sleep with other woman and then at the end says that it also happened because of me?

One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental

In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.

One rep, one set, and one step at a time.

Mental

Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.

Our lives are way too easy.

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?)

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.

toughness is to meditate.

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.

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

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.

If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.

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

But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

The same way you get physically stronger…

Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.

When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

It’s funny…

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.

Whether it’s cigarettes, candy, pot, alcohol, or porn, pick a vice that you use everyday, and commit to giving it up for a short period of time.

4. Meditate

So how do you cultivate mental

Another great way to boost your mental

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental

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.

Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.

And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.

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.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

2. One More Rep

Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
