How do I become mentally strong?

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test 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.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

What is the best technique for inserting a tampon into one’s anus?

Seriously.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

Try it… You’ll see.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

What's the most valuable lesson you've learned in life, and how has it impacted your journey so far?

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

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.

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

My grandmother deeded me her house before she passed last year. Her son still lives there refusing to move. What steps should I take to have him removed?

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

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

as a Navy SEAL.

Can you show pictures of your penis, big or small?

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

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

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.

Does believing in God and Satan cause schizophrenia?

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.

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

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

Why can't ugly women date hot guys? I know a woman who wants a hot BF but people would just laugh at her and ask her "what can you bring to the table for him?", isn't that messed up?

I’m just better at handling the suck.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

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

What symptoms did you notice before being diagnosed with cancer?

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

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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).

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.

1. Cold Showers

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

Our lives are way too easy.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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.

Plain and simple.

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.

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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

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

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?)

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.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

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

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.

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