How do I become mentally strong?

Our lives are way too easy.

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

What are some of the most annoying movie clichés?

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.

4. Meditate

What are your controversial and hot takes on Naruto?

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

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

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test 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.

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.

It is common sense that Joe Biden is ruining America and is unfit to be president, but why are the liberals still supporting him when Trump is obviously a much better fit for office?

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

toughness.

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.

If an abortion doesn’t affect you, why do people make it a big deal?

strength.

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.

3. Turn Off the AC

What is the XXX XXX Keerna Kappor video?

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

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

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.

Why is Donald Trump criticized by so many people?

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

toughness is to meditate.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

5. Give Up a Vice

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

What are the possible reasons for people feeling depressed after the holiday season? Why does being alone exacerbate these feelings?

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

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

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.

Do intellectuals who peddle pseudoscientific tripe like simulation theory ever stop and think they are just dumb NPCs for Illuminati bot wars?

1. Cold Showers

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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?)

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

Seriously.

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

It’s funny…

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

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.

2. One More Rep

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

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

Plain and simple.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Mental

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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

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.

So how do you cultivate mental

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

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.

as a Navy SEAL.

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Another great way to boost your mental

And it’s exactly how 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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
