How do I become mentally strong?

5. Give Up a Vice

Another great way to boost your mental

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

Who are the K-Pop group members that you solo stan?

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.

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 wake up earlier.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

7. Go Through Hell Week

When a dog smells another dog’s poo or wee, do they then remember that scent for when they smell it again, or even further know which dog they are smelling if they know the dog?

toughness is to 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.

It’s funny…

Isn't it great that we have an incoming president who is embracing ideas from the past like manifest destiny? Isn't it greater that Trump is willing to get us more territory and land?

strength isn’t rocket science.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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.

2. One More Rep

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Every time I brush my hair when it’s dry it poofs up like a poof ball. But if I don’t brush it looks tangled and messy. I know I have some sort of curl or wavy hair, ive tried gels to define curls but it makes my hair frizzy and messy. What do I do?

Plain and simple.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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.

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.

Seriously.

toughness by turning the AC off.

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.

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

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

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

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

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

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

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

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

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.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

Mental

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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?)

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.

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

Our lives are way too easy.

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.
