How do I become mentally strong?

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

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.

If gays can get married, why can't I marry my dog or a cheeseburger?

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.

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

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

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

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

I'm a 27 year old male currently but I am going through going through gender dysphoria. Why do some transgender people (specifically transgender women since I see that the most) call themselves trannies or shemales? Aren't those offensive words?

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

Our lives are way too easy.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Have you ever secretly watched someone while they were doing something private?

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

Mental

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

Another great way to boost your mental

3. Turn Off the AC

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

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

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

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.

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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.

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

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

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

Try it… You’ll see.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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

2. One More Rep

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

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

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

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

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).

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

1. Cold Showers

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

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.

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.

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

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.
