How do I become mentally strong?

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

Why are there no fossils for the 'missing link' that connects our ancestors with other species? Is this a misconception or is there another explanation?

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

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

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.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

If there exists a “New York of Australia”, is it Sydney or Melbourne?

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

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

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.

Why is Trump so disliked worldwide?

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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.

toughness.

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?

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.

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

How can someone effectively handle a targeted individual?

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.

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Why are Trump's and Khan's experiences with authorities in the US and Pakistan similar?

It’s funny…

strength.

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

Does centrifugal force teach us about gravity?

5. Give Up a Vice

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

If a person stops thinking one or two words in a second or half second means he had stopped thinking for half second?

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

So how do you cultivate 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.

What could be the result if I block a covert narc back after he said blocks were going back up, maybe we try this again?

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

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”.

Why do I feel so down and not happy anymore? I also feel really tired and non-motivated. Is that normal for someone to feel that way?

strength isn’t rocket science.

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

Why does my vagina smell sort of fishy/musty days after sex when my boyfriend ejaculates in me? There isn’t any itching or burning when urinating, so I don't think I have BV. It just doesn't smell like me.

2. One More Rep

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

1. Cold Showers

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

Try it… You’ll see.

Mental

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.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

strength over time.

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

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.

Our lives are way too easy.

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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).

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

strength?

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.

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?)

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

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.

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.

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

3. Turn Off the AC

as a Navy SEAL.

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

4. Meditate

Another great way to boost your mental

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

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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

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

Seriously.

toughness is to meditate.
