How do I become mentally strong?

So how do you cultivate mental

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

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

Why do people still think Michael Jackson was guilty?

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.

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

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

3. Turn Off the AC

Is the Trump-Zelenskyy meeting a preview of what the US is going to do to Taiwan?

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.

strength isn’t rocket science.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

toughness is to meditate.

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.

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.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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.

Were you ever in love with your teacher?

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

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

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

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

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).

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

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

Another great way to boost your mental

toughness by turning the AC off.

1. Cold Showers

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

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Seriously.

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.

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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

Our lives are way too easy.

strength.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your 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.

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

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

as a Navy SEAL.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

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 if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental

4. Meditate

5. Give Up a Vice

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.

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.

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

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

Try it… You’ll see.

Plain and simple.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

It’s funny…

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?)

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