How do I become mentally strong?

1. Cold Showers

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

There was this one weird Bollywood movie that was released in the 2000s. Amitabh Bachchan was starring with another actress and the story was about how the old guy (Amitabh Bachchan) fell in love with the young woman. What is the name of this movie?

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

Try it… You’ll see.

What is the difference between the Bible and the Qur'an?

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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.

Why is Bollywood failing?

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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 trans people get so deeply offended when a stranger misgenders them, especially when it's a first encounter? I've been socially transitioned for 4 years and it just feels like a waste of energy to be so hurt by it.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

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

Why do all the stupid people think Donald J. Trump is stupid?

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

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

Seriously.

Why can't my adopted sister accept she is not part of my family because she isn't related? Why can't she stop calling my parents mum and dad?

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).

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

Do guys prefer big boobs or small boobs? Why?

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.

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

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.

What baseball stories from the early days of the sport seem too bizarre to be true?

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

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

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.

What is the process of becoming an Evangelical preacher? Is attending seminary school necessary? How long does it typically take? Is it financially challenging?

Our lives are way too easy.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

Sometime ago, the Iranian Minister said that a US Navy aircraft carrier would be an easy target for 300 speed boats armed with Katyusha rocket launchers. Is this true?

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.

toughness is to meditate.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

7. Go Through Hell Week

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

So how do you cultivate mental

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.

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

Plain and simple.

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

Another great way to boost your 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?)

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

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

strength.

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.

4. Meditate

strength over time.

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

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.

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.

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

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

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

2. One More Rep

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

toughness.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

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

It’s funny…

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

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