How do I become mentally strong?

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

4. Meditate

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

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.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Another great way to boost your mental

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Our lives are way too easy.

Do you even realise that NASA could've hid or bury every single piece of evidence for a flat-earth and exaggerate their evidence? Have you ever question materialist scientific narratives?

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

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

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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.

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

If there is an abandoned house with no owner, can I live in it?

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 funny…

How do people who are deaf learn sign language? Is it typically taught by parents at a young age or are there programs available for learning it later in life?

toughness is to meditate.

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

1. Cold Showers

What is the most overrated pleasure? Why?

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.

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Do you anal play alone?

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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

My husband asked me why do I keep on complaining about him cheating. Why don't I just leave?

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 now, start small, and work your way up.

strength.

What is truer than that which is true?

strength?

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.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

What could be the result if I block a covert narc back after he said blocks were going back up, maybe we try this again?

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).

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

Why did my ex-narcissist move so fast with his new supply marriage engagement moving in, etc.?

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.

So how do you cultivate mental

5. Give Up a Vice

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

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.

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.

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?)

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your 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 this off by doing it for one day.

Plain and simple.

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

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

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

as a Navy SEAL.

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

Try it… You’ll see.

strength over time.

toughness.

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

Seriously.

I’d challenge you to stretch your 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.

2. One More Rep

7. Go Through Hell Week

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.

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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

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

Mental

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

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

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.
