How do I become mentally strong?

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

Is the Shia claim true that Imam Ali was born inside the Kaaba?

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

Plain and simple.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Was Michael Jackson really an innocent person?

I’m just better at handling the suck.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

What are some reasons for the widespread dislike of President Trump? In your opinion, has he been a good or bad president?

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.

So how do you cultivate mental

4. Meditate

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

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

What are your thoughts about Hulk Hogan at the Republican National Convention in support of Trump and ripping his shirt off? Did he exaggerate?

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

What do you like about McDonald's?

Start this off by doing it for one day.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Start with only 12–24 hours.

How could Trump, with his deplorable garbage supporters, manage to win an election?

toughness.

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.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

Why do Trump supporters believe Trump should deport the immigrants? These people you call "illegal immigrants" have lived here for many years, they have houses, jobs, how can you think they will just go back to their country, where they have nothing?

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.

1. Cold Showers

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

I am so tired of ignorant people like you calling us far rights, why democrats is so educated, they take things from their own mouth, you guys are totalitarian party?

2. One More Rep

It’s funny…

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

What are the signs of covert narcissistic abuse that most people miss?

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

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

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

Do humans know everything they need to know?

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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

toughness is to meditate.

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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

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

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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

3. Turn Off the AC

as a Navy SEAL.

strength?

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Seriously.

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.

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

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

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

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.

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Another great way to boost your mental

toughness by turning the AC off.

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?)

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.

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

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

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