How do I become mentally strong?

1. Cold Showers

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

What is the best reply if your boyfriend asks you,"why do you love me?"

toughness.

It’s funny…

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

Time (physics): Who started counting our current time or is it just "set" by some scientific measure?

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

Try it… You’ll see.

I am married for 3 years. My husband keeps pressing my boobs 40-50 times a day. He never stops though I ask him not to. What I should do to stop it?

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

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 more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

I was awaken between 2-3am by a voice that said “Hey”. Literally right next to my ear. Sounded like a males voice, but it wasn’t stern or deep. What could this mean?

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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.

So how do you cultivate mental

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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).

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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.

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

Seriously.

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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.

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

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?)

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.

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.

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

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.

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

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

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 21 pushups instead of 20.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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.

Plain and simple.

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.
