How do I become mentally strong?

Our lives are way too easy.

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

Why is my older sister so mean to me as if I was her enemy?

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).

2. One More Rep

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.

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

4. Meditate

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Honestly! Do you people actually watch all that nonsense produced by the nitwit network television stations or do they just claim you do?

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.

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

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.

Why do people who aren't trans feel the need to put pronouns next to their name or picture? It seems so cringeworthy to me, to participate in that SJW paradigm of thought, like they are a spineless person who just goes along with the trends.

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

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

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

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

5. Give Up a Vice

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

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?)

How did China invent gunpowder but it was the European nations that went out and “conquered the world using firearms”?

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

toughness.

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

My religion teacher said that there are no atheists because in order to reject God, you must first have a concept of God, and if you have a concept of God, you are not an atheist. In what way is this true, if at all? Why?

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

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

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.

3. Turn Off the AC

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

It’s funny…

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

1. Cold Showers

Try it… You’ll see.

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

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

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.

Seriously.

Plain and simple.

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.

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.

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.

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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.

toughness is to wake up earlier.
