How do I become mentally strong?

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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.

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

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

4. Meditate

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

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.

toughness.

Why did my ex of 2 years move on so fast after he left me? Why does he act so cold towards me, and as if I don't exist?

toughness by turning the AC off.

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

How come I can't stay sober?

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

3. Turn Off the AC

strength isn’t rocket science.

Why do people hate fat people so much, even people who aren't exactly supermodels themselves? It seems like such a deep, passionate hatred, like they're offended by fat people just existing. Fat people didn't do anything to them, so why hate them?

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

Seriously.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Is there a musician who has publicly stated that they do not want their music played by the Trump campaign or at a Trump rally? If so, who and why?

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

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

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

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.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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.

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.

It’s funny…

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

What is the reason for the high number of stray dogs in Thailand? What measures are being taken to address this issue?

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

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

strength over time.

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

So how do you cultivate mental

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

1. Cold Showers

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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).

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

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.

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.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

Plain and simple.

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?)

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.

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

toughness is to meditate.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

2. One More Rep

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

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.

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

strength?

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

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

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

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

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

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