How do I become mentally strong?

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

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

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

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

Should parents force their kids to go to school when they are sick?

So how do you cultivate mental

1. Cold Showers

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

Why is Nickelback known to be a bad band?

toughness.

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

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 wake up earlier.

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.

3. Turn Off the AC

One day, I happened to walk past where my crush was with friends. Then all of a sudden they start laughing, and someone maybe him, goes "freaking (my name) with her freaking hair!" Can anyone offer insights into this? We're in middle school.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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

Why are men ridiculously delusional in the women they want/approach? I'm not a troll. This is a real question. Why does a fat, pot bellied, unkempt, balding, stupid (ergo poor) man, tell a woman above his league that she isn't hot enough for him?

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

5. Give Up a Vice

Another great way to boost your mental

It’s funny…

The same way you get physically stronger…

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

What is your review of X-Men '97 season 1?

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

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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.

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

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.

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

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?)

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Plain and simple.

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.

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.

strength isn’t rocket science.

4. Meditate

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

strength?

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

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

2. One More Rep

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

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.

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.

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

Try it… You’ll see.

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

toughness is to meditate.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

as a Navy SEAL.

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).

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

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.

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 give up quality sleep to do this.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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