How do I become mentally strong?

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

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

strength over time.

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

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

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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).

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

Have you ever been a victim of gaslighting? What happened?

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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.

What frustrates you the most?

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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.

Why do some people refuse to explain their actions or behavior when asked? Why do they claim to not know the reason instead of providing an explanation?

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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.

2. One More Rep

Why are women attracted to ugly guys?

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

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

strength.

If you believe in God, do you think God can save you from cancer?

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

3. Turn Off the AC

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

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

1. Cold Showers

Seriously.

I haven’t eaten junk food for weeks, I ate dirty all-day yesterday, but I can’t even workout, why am I so tired?

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

4. Meditate

strength isn’t rocket science.

Why do men say women hit the wall at 24?

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.

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

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

Do any other guys like to eat cum of another man from their wife's pussy?

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.

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

What nonsense did you hear today in India that made you laugh?

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.

It’s funny…

5. Give Up a Vice

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

So how do you cultivate mental

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

Try it… You’ll see.

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

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.

toughness is to meditate.

toughness.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Mental

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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?)

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

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.

Plain and simple.

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

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.

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

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

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

strength?

as a Navy SEAL.

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .
