How do I become mentally strong?

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).

Another great way to boost your mental

toughness is to meditate.

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

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

Why is social media so anti-fee speech, and have they become total BS?

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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

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

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.

What are scads fish? What types are there?

strength over time.

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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.

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.

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.

3. Turn Off the AC

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

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

What's your love story?

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 11 pullups instead of 10.

1. Cold Showers

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

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

Try it… You’ll see.

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?

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

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

I’m worried I have a bat bite on my hand, I have two small marks about 1 cm apart. I haven’t been in contact with a bat but I’m worried about at night. My fingers have a slight tingling sensation and my arm feels cold but isn’t. Am I ok?

strength isn’t rocket science.

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?)

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.

4. Meditate

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

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

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

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.

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.

2. One More Rep

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

strength?

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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

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.

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

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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.

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

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

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

5. Give Up a Vice

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Mental

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

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

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

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.

Plain and simple.

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

So how do you cultivate mental

It’s funny…

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

Seriously.

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