How do I become mentally strong?

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

The same way you get physically stronger…

If you believe in God, do you think God can save you from cancer?

Seriously.

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

Can you imagine how nervous Kamala Harris must be knowing that in couple of hours she needs to face master debater Donald Trump?

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

2. One More Rep

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

I'm British and I hate my glasses. Are prescription glasses better in New York City?

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

What does it mean when someone tells you they love you and want you in their life, but doesn't want to commit?

1. Cold Showers

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Why is it difficult to get a job?

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Why am I peeing so much without drinking a lot of water? I checked my blood sugar and it is normal. Could it be something else?

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.

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

How was cancer treatment different in the US and the UK?

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

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

Have you ever had a scary dream about a loved one or friend soon after their death?

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.

toughness is to meditate.

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

Why did Donald Trump and Melania Trump sleep in different rooms?

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

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

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

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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.

What, when building a house, are the necessary wires (beside 120v) to future proof my house, Cat6, Coax, low voltage, and alarm wires?

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

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.

So how do you cultivate mental

Trump is shot, tackled by SS agents, yet then stands, defiant, with fist high, and 52 hours later, walks into the Republican Convention to thunderous applause. Is there anything that can stop this man, who loves his country? Does he get your vote?

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

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

It’s funny…

Is it okay if I sleep with my brother without my husband knowing?

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.

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?)

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.

Why does my private parts itch so much during certain periods?

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

Plain and simple.

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Mental

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.

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.

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

4. Meditate

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

5. Give Up a Vice

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 are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Our lives are way too easy.

3. Turn Off the AC

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

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.

Try it… You’ll see.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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).
