How do I become mentally strong?

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

4. Meditate

The same way you get physically stronger…

I have a bad reputation and need help. What should I do?

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

2. One More Rep

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.

Why should the US public listen to Lauren Boebert, the queen of hypocrisy tell us, "We need morals back in our nation" when her real-time video is the heartbeat of immoral? Why does her audio not match her video?

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.

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

Why is my crush beautiful to me but not to others?

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

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

Why is my ex mad I moved on when he dumped me?

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).

5. Give Up a Vice

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

What ended your relationship with your best friend?

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?)

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Plain and simple.

What do you think about Vivian Jenna Wilson's decision to speak out against her father, Elon Musk, in a public interview with NBC News?

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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.

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.

What do you do you do if your motorcycle chain snaps while riding on the highway?

toughness.

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

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

Why don't I want to talk to my girlfriend when she loves me a lot? I feel bored.

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

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.

Why do some people hesitate to say 'I love you' even after their partners have said it first? How can one interpret this behavior from their loved ones?

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.

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.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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

strength.

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

toughness is to meditate.

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.

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

Another great way to boost your mental

3. Turn Off the AC

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Mental

1. Cold Showers

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

Seriously.

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.

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

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

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

So how do you cultivate mental

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Try it… You’ll see.

It’s funny…

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
