How do I become mentally strong?

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Can you explain the difference between being a conservative Republican and a liberal Democrat? Can you provide some examples of their ideologies?

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

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?)

Is love natural, or is it somehow created?

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

Seriously.

Why do so many people find Kakashi's character so appealing and inspirational?

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

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

2. One More Rep

How can you maintain self-control?

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

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

So how do you cultivate mental

Why is Prince Harry being fired by BetterUp CEO Alexi Robichaux, and what role did Marc Benioff’s decision to pull sponsorship play in 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).

Plain and simple.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Why do men love to stink/being smelly?

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.

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

What are the main issues that have historically and currently divided Republicans and Democrats?

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

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.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

4. Meditate

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

I am skinny, I have been doing 100 pushups a day for more than a month and am seeing very few results, everything is so unfair, I workout more than anyone I know and am still skinny, why cant I build muscle?

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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.

How did you get to be a leftist?

Another great way to boost your mental

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.

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

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

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

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

strength over time.

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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.

3. Turn Off the AC

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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.

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

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.

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 funny…

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.

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

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

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

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

toughness is to meditate.

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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.

Our lives are way too easy.

7. Go Through Hell Week

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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.

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

Try it… You’ll see.
