How do I become mentally strong?

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Why do the Republican city officials at Springfield Ohio continue to deny that immigrants are eating pets to sabotage the Trump campaign, even though immigrant pet-eating is now widely believed to be true?

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

2. One More Rep

4. Meditate

Is it okay to pay 12,000 SEK for rent 67m² furnished house for 2 people in Jönköping, Sweden? It also includes electricity, internet, heating, and water expenses.

Mental

It’s funny…

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

What are some examples of unofficial acts by presidents?

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.

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

What is your opinion on the band Nickelback? Why do they receive criticism from some people?

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

strength.

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

Why can't my adopted sister accept she is not part of my family because she isn't related? Why can't she stop calling my parents mum and dad?

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

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

Can you tell me something about yourself?

Another great way to boost your mental

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

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

Is it appropriate for parents to discipline their child in public if the child is being rude, disrespectful, and unruly towards them? Why or why not?

Our lives are way too easy.

toughness is to meditate.

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.

How do Flat Earthers explain time zones?

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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).

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

What is your first experience having sex with older men?

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

What’s the best way to get over someone you love?

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

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

Are you able to lie, even though you have Aspergers?

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

toughness.

Seriously.

7. Go Through Hell Week

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

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

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

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

1. Cold Showers

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.

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.

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.

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

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

strength?

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

3. Turn Off the AC

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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

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

5. Give Up a Vice

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

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

So how do you cultivate mental

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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.

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.

as a Navy SEAL.

Start this off by doing it for one 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.

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test 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.

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

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

Plain and simple.

strength isn’t rocket science.

And it’s exactly how 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.

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?)

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

strength over time.

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