How do I become mentally strong?

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

I’m just better at handling the suck.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Why do narcissists avoid talking about the real issues?

3. Turn Off the AC

toughness.

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

Can we trust the Bible when Constantine and the First Council of Nicaea took out many books of the Bible and altered existing translation by removing things?

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).

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

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

Women like what they hear while men like what they see, it that true?

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.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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?)

I listened to Kamala Harris speech she gave in North Carolina. I support 100% of what she said. I am more and more in favor of a Kamala Harris presidency if Biden becomes unable to be our president! Do you find yourself supporting Kamala Harris now?

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

as a Navy SEAL.

Why am I peeing so much without drinking a lot of water? I checked my blood sugar and it is normal. Could it be something else?

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

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

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.

Is Matt Gaetz qualified to be Attorney General of the United States?

Plain and simple.

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

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.

Why is it that women are stronger than men nowadays?

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

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

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

What explanations do flat earthers have for the shape of our planet? If they do not have any, why should their opinions on this topic be considered credible?

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Our lives are way too easy.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Is there a correlation between being a medium and mental health?

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.

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

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

Is using tech to track or monitor your partner’s activities a sign of love, insecurity, or control?

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

Does the Lil Wayne song ‘Lollipop’ refers to a Lollipop sweet or a metaphor?

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

2. One More Rep

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

5. Give Up a Vice

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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.

1. Cold Showers

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

Seriously.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

strength?

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.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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.

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

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

strength.

So how do you cultivate mental

strength over time.

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.

It’s funny…

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

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

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

Another great way to boost your mental

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

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

toughness is to meditate.

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

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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.

toughness by turning the AC off.

4. Meditate

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.

Try it… You’ll see.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
