How do I become mentally strong?

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.

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

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

Can someone write me a sex story?

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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.

Has anyone experienced an out of the body experience, as a child, years before you had ever heard the term or understood the implications?

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

2. One More Rep

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

Can they start feeding only one meal to prisoners on death row or those doing a life sentence? Because only then will it be real punishment. If they want extra food they can work or pay from their own pocket.

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.

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

strength?

Why do subpar women think that they are nines and tens?

toughness is to meditate.

5. Give Up a Vice

Start with only 12–24 hours.

What does it mean when a guy says he doesn't want to ruin the friendship? Is he rejecting me or is there another explanation? Why would a guy choose not to risk the friendship if he has feelings for me?

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.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Try it… You’ll see.

What do you do when you are struggling to fall asleep?

Our lives are way too easy.

Seriously.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

What does a passable feminine crossdresser look like?

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.

7. Go Through Hell Week

What is the recommended approach for creating a film or TV script? Should the script be written first or should the story be developed first? Why?

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

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.

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

as a Navy SEAL.

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

So how do you cultivate mental

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

One of the HARDEST thing you can do to 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.

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

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

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Another great way to boost your mental

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

strength over time.

The same way you get physically stronger…

toughness.

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.

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.

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.

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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?)

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

Plain and simple.

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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.

1. Cold Showers

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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

4. Meditate

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 funny…
