How do I become mentally strong?

So how do you cultivate mental

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

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.

Why do wokes use words like "homophobes" when they don't know what that means? Do they realize that no one is afraid of them?

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

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.

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.

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

How can we worship Shri Krishna at home? Is it enough to install an idol, or are there other rituals that are mandatory?

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

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

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

Why is my crush beautiful to me but not to others?

strength.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

2. One More Rep

Why do atheists love to preach against Abrahamic religions and mock God? Even if they do not fear the eternal fire of hell, pious Muslims will certainly not leave them alone and will take brutal revenge until they surrender and repent of their sins.

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

It is common sense that Joe Biden is ruining America and is unfit to be president, but why are the liberals still supporting him when Trump is obviously a much better fit for office?

Start with only 12–24 hours.

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

How many trans people are lawful gun owners?

toughness is to meditate.

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

What are some important works of Marcel Proust (novelist)?

It’s funny…

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

What are James Potter's flaws?

strength?

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

What can I do after 18 cops raided my home, without a warrant, seeking a person who didn't live there and wasn't there, and also went through all of my stuff? The person wasn't on the lease, and they didn't see him enter.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

Try it… You’ll see.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

4. Meditate

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

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.

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

as a Navy SEAL.

Plain and simple.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

toughness.

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.

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

1. Cold Showers

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.

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

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

Mental

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Seriously.

3. Turn Off the AC

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

One of the HARDEST thing you can do to 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.

Another great way to boost your mental

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?)

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

Our lives are way too easy.

strength over time.

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

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.
