How do I become mentally strong?

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

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

What are your political and economic beliefs? How did you form them, especially in comparison to those who hold opposing views?

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

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

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

Why do people keep complaining about how some people copy and paste the question before answering it? To me, it's very disturbing and makes me want to block and mute them as annoying whiners.

strength isn’t rocket science.

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.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

What is the best/cute/funny/playful chat/conversation between brother and sister?

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.

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.

Plain and simple.

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

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

3. Turn Off the AC

Why can’t Trump campaign on the real issues facing America rather than insulting the character of VP Harris? Does MAGA actually believe this tactic will work?

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

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

I'm a 28-year-old guy who has never been in a relationship, nor can I seem to find someone who wants to be in one with me. Why do I feel like a freak?

It’s funny…

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

toughness is to wake up earlier.

Do you think Japan will have same-sex marriage by 2030?

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

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

Why do some people dislike rap and hip hop music despite there being poor quality music in every genre?

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

Mental

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

2. One More Rep

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

strength?

Can the right person make a narc want to change their ways? Is love that powerful? Has anyone seen this or experience it?

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

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

strength over time.

5. Give Up a Vice

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

as a Navy SEAL.

Why are the bands Smashmouth and Nickelback often used as punchlines?

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.

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.

7. Go Through Hell Week

Why was Super Buu so afraid of having Fat Buu torn out and becoming Kid Buu if he was going to destroy the Earth even before his transformation?

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).

4. Meditate

So how do you cultivate mental

Do most narcissists have good intentions as long as you are under their control?

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

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

1. Cold Showers

toughness.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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.

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”.

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?)

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.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Our lives are way too easy.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

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.

toughness is to meditate.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

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.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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.

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

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

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.

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

Seriously.

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

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

Try it… You’ll see.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
