How do I become mentally strong?

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

Our lives are way too easy.

5. Give Up a Vice

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

How old is planet Earth? Is it 4.5 billion years old or 6,000 years old?

Try it… You’ll see.

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?)

Seriously.

Is it true that all men want a woman who looks like an Instagram “model”?

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

It’s funny…

Why does my iPhone keep on saying I can’t upload photos to iCloud and say it doesn't have enough iCloud storage when it still has space?

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.

What are some prime examples of gibberish from the bible?

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

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

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.

How has your life changed for the past 10 years? Can you share your #10year challenge? Is your life better, worse, or still hopeful?

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

4. Meditate

as a Navy SEAL.

Why are people so rude to debt collector’s? I am one and I am so tired of being mistreated. We are under paid and then have to deal with the most ungrateful, and disrespectful people. We aren’t customer service. Don’t get mad at us because YOU owe.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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.

Why do people say African Americans act the way they do because they're poor, when the ones with money act the same?

1. Cold Showers

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.

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

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

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.

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).

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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.

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

So how do you cultivate mental

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

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.

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

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.

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

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

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

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

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch 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.

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

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.

strength over time.

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

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

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

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

Another great way to boost your mental

2. One More Rep

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

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

Plain and simple.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
