How do I become mentally strong?

It’s funny…

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.

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

My girlfriend told me that she wants to move in with me. I have my own apartment and I like my peace and quiet, but I also love her. We've been together for a year now. What should I do?

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

Seriously.

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).

How do I come out as queer to my best friend in a funny and stupid way?

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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.

Why have Indian girls almost stopped wearing sarees?

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

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

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

Why is the internet so restrictive? Why is it impossible to find a place where you can express yourself fully?

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

So how do you cultivate mental

Try it… You’ll see.

Plain and simple.

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

Another great way to boost your mental

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

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.

2. One More Rep

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?)

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

as a Navy SEAL.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

3. Turn Off the AC

Our lives are way too easy.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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.
