How do I become mentally strong?

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

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.

Why don't people like Nickelback?

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

My wife found I had been on Pornhub. She considers this adultery and wants a divorce. She hasn't touched me in over 6 years. What should I do?

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

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

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?)

With so much evidence supporting the flat Earth theory, why aren't more resources dedicated to studying it?

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Are there any political parties or groups that have a mix of conservative and liberal beliefs? Why are they not as prominent in the media?

5. Give Up a Vice

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.

7. Go Through Hell Week

Do you agree that last year The Beatles released a number one single decades after the death of John Lennon, thanks to AI?

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

2. One More Rep

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Is it possible to earn money by writing and self-publishing a Light novel on Amazon Kindle?

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 same way you get physically stronger…

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

3. Turn Off the AC

So how do you cultivate mental

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

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

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

toughness is to meditate.

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.

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.

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”.

Another great way to boost 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?

Plain and simple.

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.

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

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

It’s funny…

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.

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

Try it… You’ll see.

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

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.

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

4. Meditate

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).

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

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
