How do I become mentally strong?

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

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

Can I see some anal hole?

3. Turn Off the AC

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.

It’s funny…

How did your marriage end?

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

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

What type of narcissist cheats more and gets pleasure out of hurting you, even if they're married?

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Why do black people prefer thick, curvy women?

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.

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

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

Relocating to Sweden to save money. I got a job offer of 47000SEK before tax, visas sponsored for my wife & my mother (with a laryngectomy). My wife, a general medicine graduate, wants to specialize in Sweden. Can we live well and save 4000€ monthly?

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

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.

Since the Brits can't steer their oil tanker, what makes them think they can take on Russia?

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

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.

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

Why are black people seen as scary or a threat to some people?

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Plain and simple.

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.

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

2. One More Rep

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

Should women be allowed in “combat roles” within the military?

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.

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

Why did Cartman love Heidi purely with heart, her being the first one he ever did, but then one day Butters tells him that all women are manipulative and then he began to believe that she was a bad person and pretended to be a victim?

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.

4. Meditate

If the Red Pill is supposed to be so bad, why are so many young men buying into it? What about Red Pill makes it appealing to them?

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

Start with only 12–24 hours.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

Another great way to boost your mental

One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your 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).

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

strength?

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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.

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

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

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

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 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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

Try it… You’ll see.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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.

Seriously.

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

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

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.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

strength isn’t rocket science.

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?)

toughness is to meditate.
