How do I become mentally strong?

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

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

How do Democrat Party voters feel about the fact that Kamala Harris never received one primary vote to be the nominee in 2020 and certainly not in 2024?

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

How common are novels, animes, or mangas, that are both coming of age and thriller? What do you think of these kinds of stories? What are some examples?

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).

Try it… You’ll see.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

Do British people say 'biscuits' when they mean cookies and 'jelly' when they mean jam, instead of saying the American words for them (cookies, jelly)? If so, why?

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

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

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.

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.

toughness.

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.

Our lives are way too easy.

What are some ways to get sweaty before a concert?

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

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.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

Seriously.

Mental

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

toughness is to meditate.

as a Navy SEAL.

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

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

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

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

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

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?)

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

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

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

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.

It’s funny…

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

2. One More Rep

strength.

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

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.

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.
