How do I become mentally strong?

strength over time.

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

What is a good comeback for when someone calls you flat?

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.

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

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

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

Why do some people have loving parents and some do not?

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?)

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Plain and simple.

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.

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

Do Marines really not need sleep during combat training or in general? If this is true, how and why is this possible?

Our lives are way too easy.

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.

2. One More Rep

Should parents be allowed to bring children into R-rated movies? What are the potential consequences of doing so?

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

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

How do so-called Religious/Christian people really think homosexuality is even a sin? That would be nonsense. In fact, LGBT people need love instead of contempt/hatred. The word Homosexual didn't appear until the 1850s.

strength isn’t rocket science.

1. Cold Showers

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

How do I find a luxury service apartment in Gurgaon?

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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 do narcissists devour so much sugar (candy, ice cream, donuts, etc., in huge amounts at a time)?

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

5. Give Up a Vice

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.

I caught my husband of 20 years looking at inappropriate pics of women on TikTok or Instagram. I'm not sure., but when I told him he got mad and made excuses of why they popped up. I then told him how I've snuck on his phone and saw what he's been looking at . We had a horrible big fight. I asked him why did he even marry me when I see the type he likes . Nothing like me, I'm petite, blonde and blue eyes. These women are dark haired dark eyed and have curvy bodies, large breasts, etc. I just don't feel the same about him after this. I can't get over this

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

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.

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

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

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

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

It’s funny…

toughness by turning the AC off.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

7. Go Through Hell Week

toughness is to meditate.

The same way you get physically stronger…

as a Navy SEAL.

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

Seriously.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Another great way to boost your mental

4. Meditate

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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

So how do you cultivate mental

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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).

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

3. Turn Off the AC

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