How do I become mentally strong?

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

toughness is to meditate.

as a Navy SEAL.

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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.

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

strength.

Seriously.

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

Why do I want to suck cock, after smoking methamphetamine?

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

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

My religion teacher said that there are no atheists because in order to reject God, you must first have a concept of God, and if you have a concept of God, you are not an atheist. In what way is this true, if at all? Why?

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Plain and simple.

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.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

Another great way to boost your mental

Our lives are way too easy.

How would you feel if your friend confided in you that she is cheating on her husband, knowing that he loves her deeply? What emotional and ethical considerations would you grapple with in response to her revelation?

5. Give Up a Vice

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

What type of crossdresser are you?

It’s funny…

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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.

How do individuals become targeted individuals? Is it solely due to experiencing stalking or harassment, or are there other factors involved?

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

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.

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

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).

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

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.

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

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

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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.

So how do you cultivate mental

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

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

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.

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

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

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

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

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

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

strength over time.

2. One More Rep

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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.

toughness by turning the AC off.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

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?)

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

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

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

1. Cold Showers

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.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

3. Turn Off the AC
