How do I become mentally strong?

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

So how do you cultivate mental

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

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

Try it… You’ll see.

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

What are your funniest "lost in translation" moments if you grew up speaking more than one language?

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.

4. Meditate

strength?

What do dreams about dead people mean?

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

My wife has a bunch of really attractive friends, and she expects me to never say anything to her about how beautiful they are. Does this seem fair? I love my wife, and just commenting shouldn’t hurt anything, right?

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’m just better at handling the suck.

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

Another great way to boost your mental

So who has worn a cock cage. One of my guy FWBs put one on me last Sunday and left with the keys? I was very nervous at first but have calmed down. Told me he'll unlock it tomorrow.. Let me know.

2. One More Rep

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.

They say that the Democrats media is able to gaslight their ignorant followers. How true is that, and is the fact that Democrats have echoed that Jan 6th was worse than 9/11 or Pearl Harbor proof of that, via gaslighting their ignorant followers?

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.

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

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.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

toughness.

1. Cold Showers

Seriously.

strength isn’t rocket science.

toughness is to meditate.

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test 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.

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.

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

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.

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

as a Navy SEAL.

The same way you get physically stronger…

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

strength over time.

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

Plain and simple.

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).

3. Turn Off the AC

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.

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

It’s funny…

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.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

strength.

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

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

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.

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?)

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

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