How do I become mentally strong?

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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

Did you ever receive genuine remarks from a medium regarding your deceased relative with information that the medium could never normally know?

2. One More Rep

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

4. Meditate

How do people who are deaf learn sign language? Is it typically taught by parents at a young age or are there programs available for learning it later in life?

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.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Delta Force selection is originally based on SAS selection, so why is there no brutal jungle phase for Delta Force? It seems like it's based only on the Brecon Beacons section.

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.

It’s funny…

Should I believe JD Vance's claim that Tim Walz lied about needing medical intervention to get pregnant?

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Mental

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Does the Hamas charter specifically call for the death of all Jews and the destruction of Israel?

1. Cold Showers

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.

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

What misfortune led to an important discovery?

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

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

Why do I sweat so much after shower?

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.

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Who is the greatest light welterweight boxer of all time?

5. Give Up a Vice

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

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

Can you share 100 facts about yourself?

Seriously.

strength?

strength isn’t rocket science.

Do most men prefer curvy women or skinny women?

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

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

Our lives are way too easy.

My husband asked me why do I keep on complaining about him cheating. Why don't I just leave?

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

as a Navy SEAL.

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.

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.

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

toughness.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

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

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

strength over time.

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

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.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

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

So how do you cultivate mental

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

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

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

strength.

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).

Try it… You’ll see.

Plain and simple.

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

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.

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

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

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

toughness is to meditate.

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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

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

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

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

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

3. Turn Off the AC

Start this off by doing it for one day.
