How do I become mentally strong?

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Why do so many 18 to 29-year-old men struggle in dating?

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

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

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.

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

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Would the word literate carry the same meaning with public (common wealth) in 1900 vs today 2020?

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

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

Our lives are way too easy.

2. One More Rep

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

Why do some people refuse to explain their actions or behavior when asked? Why do they claim to not know the reason instead of providing an explanation?

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

What does "feeling like your life is over" mean and why is it not in any dictionary online?

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

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

Why do Brits drive a lot more dangerously compared to Americans? Is there just no courtesy when driving in the UK?

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

1. Cold Showers

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

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

Mental

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

So how do you cultivate mental

strength.

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

as a Navy SEAL.

It’s funny…

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

Seriously.

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

strength over time.

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

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

One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build 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).

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
