How do I become mentally strong?

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.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Our lives are way too easy.

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.

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

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

Does being poor build better character than being born rich?

It’s funny…

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

2. One More Rep

Why isn't bestiality illegal in most states? If children can't consent, then animals DEFINITELY can't consent. Why is being a pedophile a crime but zoophilia is not?

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

Why is the First Amendment referred to as a right to free speech instead of an immunity from punishment for one's words, regardless of their truthfulness?

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

Is there a reason why many men give up on dating and relationships? Is the dating scene difficult for them?

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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.

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

I can not sleep. what is the problem?

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

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

What's an underrated/unknown novel or series that you think deserves more attention?

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

4. Meditate

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

How far does good behavior take you in a prison?

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.

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.

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

Why can't the US government force this new deep seek to not operate in the USA for security reasons? People's personal information will be available to China like TikTok was.

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

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.

7. Go Through Hell Week

What was the most challenging shift you experienced as an ER physician? Can you describe the details and reasons behind it?

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

5. Give Up a Vice

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

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

toughness.

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

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

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

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

strength.

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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.

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

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?)

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

Try it… You’ll see.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Mental

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Seriously.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

Another great way to boost your mental

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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).

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

Plain and simple.
