How do I become mentally strong?

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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

Why do women have sex with dogs?

It’s funny…

Seriously.

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

Why are liberals so bad at grasping alternative facts? For example, if something doesn’t happen the exact same way Trump described it, liberals dismiss it as false; while conservatives are able to fully understand the underlying principle.

1. Cold Showers

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 now, start small, and work your way up.

One day, I happened to walk past where my crush was with friends. Then all of a sudden they start laughing, and someone maybe him, goes "freaking (my name) with her freaking hair!" Can anyone offer insights into this? We're in middle school.

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.

Plain and simple.

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

I am so tired of ignorant people like you calling us far rights, why democrats is so educated, they take things from their own mouth, you guys are totalitarian party?

4. Meditate

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

toughness is to meditate.

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.

What were some things that the ancient Greeks excelled at compared to the Romans?

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

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

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?)

What are some questions obviously just asked for sexual gratification?

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Try it… You’ll see.

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

Why can't ugly women date hot guys? I know a woman who wants a hot BF but people would just laugh at her and ask her "what can you bring to the table for him?", isn't that messed up?

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

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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.

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

3. Turn Off the AC

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

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

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

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.

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

toughness.

Mental

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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

5. Give Up a Vice

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

strength?

2. One More Rep

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

strength isn’t rocket science.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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.

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

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

So how do you cultivate mental

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
