How do I become mentally strong?

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

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?)

What are some hard rock or heavy metal bands that are overrated?

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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.

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

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.

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

5. Give Up a Vice

Try it… You’ll see.

Ok, so this is a question seeking an answer to clear up whatever gymnastics are in my head. I'm a moderately attractive guy, sincere heart, genuinely looking to love another, established. Why don't women that I'm attracted to, want me back?

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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

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

Why am I sweating so much when I try to do anything?

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

toughness is to meditate.

Why do people say African Americans act the way they do because they're poor, when the ones with money act the same?

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.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

Our lives are way too easy.

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

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.

So how do you cultivate mental

Seriously.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

4. Meditate

Why do some of those who believe in a god refuse to consider the possibility they could be wrong?

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

toughness.

Another great way to boost your mental

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

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

2. One More Rep

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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).

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

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

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

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.

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.

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.

Plain and simple.
