How do I become mentally strong?

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

2. One More Rep

When I buy a house, do I automatically own all items the previous owner failed to remove from the property?

It’s funny…

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

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

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.

3. Turn Off the AC

Why is Canada letting too many Indians in Canada?

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

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

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.

Mental

What is the one thing you don't understand that others do?

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

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

What does it mean when someone leaves something in your house, your room to be exact, and when you tell them, they say they left it there on purpose?

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

1. Cold Showers

Why do you think Democrat favorability ratings are so low?

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.

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

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.

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

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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.

So how do you cultivate mental

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

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

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.

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.

4. Meditate

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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?)

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

Seriously.

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.

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

Another great way to boost your mental

5. Give Up a Vice

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

toughness.

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).

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

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

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