How do I become mentally strong?

Start this off by doing it for one day.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

strength?

Why have cell phones, the internet, and reality TV turned the world into a toilet, as this has not advanced us in any way?

Plain and simple.

7. Go Through Hell Week

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

How do you feel about Donald Trump signing an executive order that says there are only two genders?

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

4. Meditate

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

How do you know when someone really loves you?

5. Give Up a Vice

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Mental

Why is Donald Trump criticized by so many people?

It’s funny…

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.

Why are some people afraid of monsters?

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

toughness.

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.

How would you feel if your friend confided in you that she is cheating on her husband, knowing that he loves her deeply? What emotional and ethical considerations would you grapple with in response to her revelation?

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

1. Cold Showers

Try it… You’ll see.

Can a mother forget her child after she puts him or her up for adoption?

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).

toughness is to meditate.

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.

How come Jesus died on Friday and rose on Sunday? That's not 3 days and three nights.

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.

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Why aren't U.S. prisons more like Marine Corps boot camp, were every second of the day there are mandatory activities so that at night everyone is so tired they go to sleep until wakeup at 5:30 am? Would this make prisons safer for all?

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

Why would the state lie about the Earth's shape? We know that it's flat, but why do they lie and tell us that it is a sphere?

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

2. One More Rep

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

Is depression a cause for always feeling tired?

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

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.

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

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

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

What is the best way to get my wife to become a hotwife?

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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.

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

So how do you cultivate 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.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Another great way to boost your mental

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

3. Turn Off the AC

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

toughness is to wake up earlier.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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

Seriously.

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.

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.

strength over time.

strength.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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 if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
