How do I become mentally strong?

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.

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Are democrats inherently stupid or just lazy? They can Google " Ohio is investigating reports by residents that migrants are eating the local wildlife " why can't they seem to do the most simple things? Blind, ignorant, stupid or obtuse?

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

5. Give Up a Vice

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.

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

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

2. One More Rep

The same way you get physically stronger…

toughness.

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

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.

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 of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental

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

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

Seriously.

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

It’s funny…

1. Cold Showers

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

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Plain and simple.

So how do you cultivate mental

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Try it… You’ll see.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
