How do I become mentally strong?

strength isn’t rocket science.

5. Give Up a Vice

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

Why cant I stop thinking about counsellor between sessions?

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.

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.

3. Turn Off the AC

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Why do entitled people demand that I pick up after my doggo when he goes to the bathroom? Do they not know that doggy doo decomposes & feeds the plants?

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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.

1. Cold Showers

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

What is your daily motivation and does it work?

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?)

It’s funny…

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

What is the most gay experience with your dad?

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Why did Democrats echo that Joe Biden was greater than FDR and should be put on Mt Rushmore? Why did Democrats vote for Biden blindly in the primaries and deny he was mentally impaired? Was it the lying media, or are Democrats ignorant and gullible?

4. Meditate

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

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).

Why is watching a man and a woman have sex considered perverted? It's how we all got here, it's what we do, I say if you want to watch porn then carry on!

Our lives are way too easy.

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

Another great way to boost your mental

Seriously.

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.

Mental

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

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

Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.

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.

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

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.

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

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

toughness is to meditate.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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.

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

Plain and simple.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

So how do you cultivate mental

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

toughness.

as a Navy SEAL.

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.

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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