How do I become mentally strong?

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

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

Why do narcissists devour so much sugar (candy, ice cream, donuts, etc., in huge amounts at a time)?

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

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.

Seriously.

5. Give Up a Vice

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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.

Is love natural, or is it somehow created?

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

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

Our lives are way too easy.

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.

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

What's a memory from your childhood that shaped who you are today?

2. One More Rep

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

What is the process of becoming an Evangelical preacher? Is attending seminary school necessary? How long does it typically take? Is it financially challenging?

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

7. Go Through Hell Week

Which scene is considered the most difficult to watch in each of Quentin Tarantino's movies?

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

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Do you like to wear a see-through skirt?

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.

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

Plain and simple.

Was there any slavery of white people that actually compares to the transatlantic slave trade? I’m not baiting or anything actually genuinely curious and want to know.

Mental

strength over time.

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

Will my 9 year old face more difficulties than most girls her age if she’s an early bloomer? My daughter already needs regular B cup bras. The doctor says that my daughter will be even more developed by 11-12 years of age.

It’s funny…

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Try it… You’ll see.

Why cant I sleep even tho I am sleepy? I am not anxious or worried but my body just doesn't want to. I've been awake for almost 2 days and feel sleepy but I cant sleep. My doctor said its anxiety related but its not. Is this normal?

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.

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.

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

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

strength?

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

Another great way to boost 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.

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

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

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.

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.

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

4. Meditate

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

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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.

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

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).

The same way you get physically stronger…

toughness is to meditate.

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.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

So how do you cultivate mental

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.

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

strength.

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.
