How do I become mentally strong?

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

Why do some people admire Latin American cultures but not want to be from or live in those countries?

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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.

Can people who have never met you tell if you are a covert narcissist?

1. Cold Showers

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

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

What is something you have to share?

Start this off by doing it for one day.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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 you allow your cat to lie in bed with you?

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

strength over time.

5. Give Up a Vice

Why are men ridiculously delusional in the women they want/approach? I'm not a troll. This is a real question. Why does a fat, pot bellied, unkempt, balding, stupid (ergo poor) man, tell a woman above his league that she isn't hot enough for him?

So how do you cultivate mental

Another great way to boost your mental

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Will you share your wife? Can she take both of us at the same time?

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

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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 now, start small, and work your way up.

Why have feminists not demanded that females be required to register with the selective service? Are female lives more precious than male lives?

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

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

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

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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.

7. Go Through Hell Week

Seriously.

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Plain and simple.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

It’s funny…

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

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

as 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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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.

4. Meditate

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

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

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.

3. Turn Off the AC

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

toughness is to meditate.

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

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