How do I become mentally strong?

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.

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

Seriously.

How do you have intercourse with a girl who can remember you for a long time?

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

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

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

Why cant school buses ditch kids who are late to the bus at the school? Like on the way home, if a kid is late when all the others arrived to the bus on time, why cant they leave the late kid behind since its not fair to the on time kids to wait?

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

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

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

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.

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?

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

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

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).

Do you think there will ever be a movie that features a line such as “You graduated at the top of your class in liberal arts, we need your help”?

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

Another great way to boost your mental

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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.

What is the happy reality of our generation?

1. Cold Showers

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.

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

How does it feel to be in a marriage without any love?

5. Give Up a Vice

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.

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.

As a NATO/Ukraine supporter, since you're so blown away and angered by Trump putting Zelensky in his place yesterday, why don't you support the Ukraine by joining the Ukrainian army? There's 200,000,000+ of you. Put your money where your mouths are.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Our lives are way too easy.

My stepdaughter’s mom tells her I’m not a real dance teacher, but my stepdaughter has seen me in action. Why does she still question my abilities?

Plain and simple.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

2. One More Rep

The same way you get physically stronger…

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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.

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

Try it… You’ll see.

4. Meditate

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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?)

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

So how do you cultivate 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.

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.

It’s funny…

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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