How do I become mentally strong?

Seriously.

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

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

Why do I get bored with porn so quickly? I can watch maybe half a video (5 mins max) and then get bored and do something else. I don't watch porn often, just a teenager. 17.

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

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.

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

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

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

Why cant I breathe when I sleep on my back, I can breathe if im on my side or stomach but I feel uncomfortable since either my neck is twisted or my back is in pain, im physically healthy and my surroundings are clean so whats the problem?

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

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 21 pushups instead of 20.

Do women really cheat more than men?

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

1. Cold Showers

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

Do you think some men have sex with prostitutes because they're too afraid to talk to women? Money does the talking for them.

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

Try it… You’ll see.

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?)

What do you think of a parent telling their adult child to “keep their personal life to themselves” in relation to talking to them? No reason they should say that it was mean what should I do?

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

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

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.

Plain and simple.

What are some reasons for the widespread dislike of President Trump? In your opinion, has he been a good or bad president?

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

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.

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

Why is it rare for someone to despise both the Democrats and Republicans?

Mental

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).

toughness is to wake up earlier.

Will Canadians still buy American products?

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.

3. Turn Off the AC

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

Our lives are way too easy.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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.

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

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.

It’s funny…

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

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

2. One More Rep

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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.

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

So how do you cultivate mental

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

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.

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

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.

Start this off by doing it for one day.
