How do I become mentally strong?

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 are seriously wanting to give up a vice (like smoking or drinking), you’ll want to throw away anything that reminds you of it.

5. Give Up a Vice

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

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

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

Can you make a fake K-pop group? It can be with any idols.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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.

What might be the social consequences of an ethnic as opposed to a civic conception of the nation?

Seriously.

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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 11 pullups instead of 10.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

What are the reasons for people being banned from social media sites like Twitter and Instagram? Why is it considered a big deal?

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

Why don't I want to talk to my girlfriend when she loves me a lot? I feel bored.

2. One More Rep

toughness is to meditate.

Plain and simple.

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?

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.

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

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

Do you think the beginning of movies is often better than the rest of the film? Is this a common opinion or do others share this view?

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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

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.

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

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

What made you recently say to yourself, “Wait. Really?”

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.

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

Who are the archers in Genesis 49:23?

strength isn’t rocket science.

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 with only 12–24 hours.

Why do people hate Nickelback so much? What makes them different from other popular bands like Linkin Park, Green Day, etc.? Is it just because they're Canadian or what?

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

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

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.

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.

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?)

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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.

1. Cold Showers

toughness.

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.

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

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

It’s funny…

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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.

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

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.
