How do I become mentally strong?

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

Why did I move on so fast from a relationship that was my whole life and I was so attached, I moved on by 2 months?

4. Meditate

Another great way to boost your mental

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.

Should you have a threesome with your best friend and your significant other if the significant other requests it?

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

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

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.

Why did Kamala say immigrants eating cats isn’t real when there’s police bodycam footage of it happening?

toughness is to meditate.

strength over time.

So how do you cultivate mental

What are some possible reasons for an unfaithful spouse to not confess their affair to their partner and instead end it without telling them?

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

Our lives are way too easy.

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.

What's the most trivial thing that ever made you go to the doctor?

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

What are some healthy ways to start losing weight without risking starvation mode or extreme food restriction?

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).

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

What is the best case of “You just picked a fight with the wrong person” that you've witnessed?

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

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

Why should you never do drugs? Will this story absolutely shock you?

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

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

Is there a musician who has publicly stated that they do not want their music played by the Trump campaign or at a Trump rally? If so, who and why?

3. Turn Off the AC

The same way you get physically stronger…

My wife has a bunch of really attractive friends, and she expects me to never say anything to her about how beautiful they are. Does this seem fair? I love my wife, and just commenting shouldn’t hurt anything, right?

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

What are some life hacks for living on your own?

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.

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

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

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

Plain and simple.

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.

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.

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

Try it… You’ll see.

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

toughness.

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

It’s funny…

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

2. One More Rep

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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 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.

Seriously.

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

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

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

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

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