How do I become mentally strong?

And it’s exactly how 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.

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).

Why is the First Amendment referred to as a right to free speech instead of an immunity from punishment for one's words, regardless of their truthfulness?

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.

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

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

Does eating bread before bed make you fat? If so, why?

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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.

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

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

strength isn’t rocket science.

Are there any real-life examples of prisoners who escaped from hospitals and were never caught?

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

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Why are most people broke?

Mental

Plain and simple.

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

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.

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

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

3. Turn Off the AC

5. Give Up a Vice

Why are so many people anti-Trump? People didn't like Obama either, but he was the president, so people didn't do this. What makes Trump different?

So how do you cultivate mental

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

How do you leave a relationship when you are still in love?

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

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

Why do nice guys rarely or never win?

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

2. One More Rep

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Trump is going to target known criminals in the country illegally for deportation. The Democrats have vowed to fight him every step of the way. Don't they understand this is one of the issues that cost them the white house, the house and senate?

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

strength over time.

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

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

1. Cold Showers

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

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.

strength?

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.

toughness.

Our lives are way too easy.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

It’s funny…

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

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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?)

Try it… You’ll see.

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

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

toughness is to meditate.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

Seriously.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .
