How do I become mentally strong?

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

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

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

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Plain and simple.

as a Navy SEAL.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

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.

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

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.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

1. Cold Showers

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

Has anyone had a romance scammer start messaging them on Quora? How do you know if the person is scamming you? What do you do?

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.

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

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.

Has anyone ever participated in a gang bang and what was it like?

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.

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).

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

2. One More Rep

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?)

7. Go Through Hell Week

Have you ever seen your wife being fucked?

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

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

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.

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

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

Why do the Republican city officials at Springfield Ohio continue to deny that immigrants are eating pets to sabotage the Trump campaign, even though immigrant pet-eating is now widely believed to be true?

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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.

strength isn’t rocket science.

Another great way to boost your mental

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

Seriously.

toughness is to meditate.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

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

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

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

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

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

strength?

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.

4. Meditate

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

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

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

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

It’s funny…

strength over time.

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.
