How do I become mentally strong?

Mental

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.

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

What were Hitler’s habits?

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.

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

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.

Do you like high heels?

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

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

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

What are the different celebrity lists (A-list, B-list, C-list, D-list)? How does one become a part of these lists and move up or down in status?

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

Have you ever seen a woman having sex with a dog?

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.

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

Trump is going to target known criminals in the country illegally for deportation. The Democrats have vowed to fight him every step of the way. Don't they understand this is one of the issues that cost them the white house, the house and senate?

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

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).

What are some life hacks for living on your own?

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

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

Why do you think Islam oppresses women when Christianity clearly does it more?

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Where did the false claim that Haitian immigrants are eating pets come from?

3. Turn Off the AC

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

Plain and simple.

Why do Puerto Ricans come to this country flying their flags over in the United States all over their cars? They're so proud of their country. Why are they here?

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’d challenge you to stretch your mental

strength over time.

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

Seriously.

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

as a Navy SEAL.

It’s funny…

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

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

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.

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.

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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

toughness.

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

toughness is to meditate.

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

2. One More Rep

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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.

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.
