How do I become mentally strong?

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

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

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.

What did Chandrashekhar Azad say about Hinduism during a podcast?

Plain and simple.

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.

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

I have a "fat pussy" and I'm super self cautions about it. Do guys think it's gross?

toughness is to wake up earlier.

It’s funny…

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

Will my 9 year old face more difficulties than most girls her age if she’s an early bloomer? My daughter already needs regular B cup bras. The doctor says that my daughter will be even more developed by 11-12 years of age.

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Why do flat-earth conspiracy theorists believe that photos from space, including those of satellites, are fake?

strength?

Try it… You’ll see.

strength isn’t rocket science.

What is the typical mentality of the Indian society?

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

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

How is it, in the USA, a country with 334 million people, the choice of President comes down to two aged men, one of whom is a liar as well as a criminal, one who appears to be on his way to dementia. Surely a democratic country can put up better?

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

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

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

Apple will let third party music apps show animated artwork on the iPhone lock screen, not just Apple Music - 9to5Mac

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.

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

toughness.

What is the most popular song that includes the word "you"? Are there any other songs that use "you" multiple times?

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

5. Give Up a Vice

So how do you cultivate mental

What's the most sordid activity you've ever seen or heard about at a bachelorette party?

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.

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.

Why cant I ever fall asleep with my boyfriend?

Another great way to boost your mental

toughness by turning the AC off.

Seriously.

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

strength.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

toughness is to meditate.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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

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?)

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.

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

1. Cold Showers

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

4. Meditate

as a Navy SEAL.

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

3. Turn Off the AC

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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.

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

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

2. One More Rep

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.

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).

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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

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

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

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

Our lives are way too easy.

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

Mental

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.

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.

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

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.

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.

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