How do I become mentally strong?

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Our lives are way too easy.

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

strength over time.

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

Did your siblings abuse you growing up? Not your parents, specifically your siblings, or other children in the household you were raised with.

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

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

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

Why are people saying that Trump is fat when he is an athletic 6 foot 3 and 215 pounds?

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

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.

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

as a Navy SEAL.

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.

Mental

How will Israelis respond to someone claiming that anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism, in the same way as anti-feminism not being misogyny and opposing same-sex marriage not being homophobia?

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

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).

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

I've never read the book. What did Dorian Grey do that was so immoral and sinful?

2. 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.

7. Go Through Hell Week

What is life without a job?

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

toughness by turning the AC off.

Why can't white people just surrender their white privilege?

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.

strength.

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

Have you ever been humiliated in front of a group of girls and enjoyed it?

1. Cold Showers

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

What are some ballbusting stories?

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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 funny…

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.

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

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?)

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

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

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

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

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

4. Meditate

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.

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

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Plain and simple.

strength?

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Seriously.

toughness is to meditate.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

toughness.

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

Try it… You’ll see.

Another great way to boost your mental

5. Give Up a Vice

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.

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 how do you cultivate mental

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.
