How do I become mentally strong?

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

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

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

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.

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

5. Give Up a Vice

My parents force me (15yo atheist) to go to church, and there’s this thing called Small Sundays where we discuss the Bible in groups, there are questions asked about the Bible. What am I supposed to do when they ask?

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

strength isn’t rocket science.

What should I do if I love a girl and she apparently doesn't love me?

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

strength.

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

What do you think is the #1 cause of why relationships nowadays don't seem to last long?

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

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

How do you take your erotic photos and how do you choose the poses?

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

What are some fun/kinky things to do with your partner?

Our lives are way too easy.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Plain and simple.

When does a woman know she is cumming?

Mental

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

It’s funny…

Why do some guys treat girls so badly?

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

What is so great about Jiraiya?

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).

as a Navy SEAL.

1. Cold Showers

When did bestiality first occur to you and how did it happen the first time? Was it a deliberate decision or it just happened and you allowed it?

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

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.

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

strength?

strength over 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.

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.

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

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

4. Meditate

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.

toughness.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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?)

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

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

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

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

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

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

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

Another great way to boost your mental

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

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

toughness is to meditate.

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.

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

Seriously.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

2. One More Rep

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

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

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.

So how do you cultivate mental

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

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

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.

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

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.
