How do I become mentally strong?

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

toughness.

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 the United States leaves the EU to fend for themselves in the economy and NATO, could Europe become irrelevant in the global economy compare to China and America dominance in the world stage in AI and semiconductors? Will Europe become cash poor?

Try it… You’ll see.

3. Turn Off the AC

Another great way to boost your mental

What's the importance of promotion in marketing?

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

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.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

Why does my dog keep licking at her privates now? She is 7 years old and has barely started licking there. The vet said she’s fine but she keeps doing that.

toughness is to meditate.

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

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.

President Trump kicked Zelensky out of the White House. Is it over for a deal?

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

as a Navy SEAL.

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

Why are so many people anti-Trump? People didn't like Obama either, but he was the president, so people didn't do this. What makes Trump different?

5. Give Up a Vice

strength.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

4. Meditate

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

strength?

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.

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.

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

Do you wear tights for warmth or to make your legs look better?

toughness by turning the AC off.

Plain and simple.

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

If I only have a fire extinguisher to defend myself against some threat from people, should I spray them for max damage or just hit them with the fire extinguishers?

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

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

What specific economic and social impacts would result if all climate change policies and regulations were immediately repealed worldwide?

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

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

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

It’s funny…

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

If a person stops thinking one or two words in a second or half second means he had stopped thinking for half second?

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

1. Cold Showers

Why are most girls not open to the idea of anal sex?

So how do you cultivate mental

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.

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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

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.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

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).

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

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

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

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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.

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

2. One More Rep

Seriously.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

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.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

strength over time.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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