How do I become mentally strong?

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

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

Can cheating be a result of not truly loving or caring for someone, or is it sometimes just a spur of the moment decision?

Plain and simple.

Seriously.

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

Why am I so triggered and depressed over a minor thing?

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

Start this off by doing it for one 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.

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.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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.

2. One More Rep

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Another great way to boost your mental

Why am I dreaming of people I've never seen before?

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.

Try it… You’ll see.

I am glad you enjoyed my pictures. Do you have any photos to share?

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.

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test 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.

Why can't the US government force this new deep seek to not operate in the USA for security reasons? People's personal information will be available to China like TikTok was.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

3. Turn Off the AC

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Were Dalits prohibited from drinking water from wells in ancient times? Is there any evidence to support this claim?

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Why cant I feel anything in my sleep? I cannot even feel myself moving, breathing, and swallowing saliva! I cannot even hear anything, not even my alarm! Some people that I've been with says that I'm moving a lot in my sleep, how can I stop it?

So how do you cultivate mental

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Have you experimented with bestiality?

toughness is to meditate.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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 has my ex moved on so fast after years of being together with me?

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

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

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

1. Cold Showers

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

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.

strength over time.

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

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.

4. Meditate

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.

It’s funny…

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

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your 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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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.

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.

And it’s exactly how 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?)

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

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).

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.

Start with only 12–24 hours.
