How do I become mentally strong?

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

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

It’s funny…

Do narcissists love their children?

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

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

Plain and simple.

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

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.

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

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

Was there any slavery of white people that actually compares to the transatlantic slave trade? I’m not baiting or anything actually genuinely curious and want to know.

4. Meditate

Can you describe your experience taking the AIPMT/NEET entrance exam? Did you feel nervous or afraid while entering the examination hall and writing the exam?

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

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

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

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.

Why does my best friend call me ugly and act like she’s joking, but today she looked at me and said “I wouldn’t lie to you”? What should I say back to her?

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

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

1. Cold Showers

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

The same way you get physically stronger…

toughness is to wake up earlier.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

3. Turn Off the AC

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.

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

strength.

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

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

as a Navy SEAL.

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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

Try it… You’ll see.

strength isn’t rocket science.

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).

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

Seriously.

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.

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

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

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?)

2. One More Rep

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Mental

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

toughness is to meditate.

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.

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.

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.

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

5. Give Up a Vice
