How do I become mentally strong?

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Another great way to boost your mental

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

What baseball stories from the early days of the sport seem too bizarre to be true?

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

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

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

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.

Try it… You’ll see.

Im a 14 year old girl who doesnt want to wear a hijab but my parents force me to wear one. It makes me dislike it more. Im not ready for one no matter what people say and they get really mad at me. I have bad grades and no motivation. What do I do?

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.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

5. Give Up a Vice

Do Republicans realize that the power of the people is invested in 'representative government'? If so, why did they elect a pathological liar?

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.

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 is to wake up earlier.

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.

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

toughness.

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?)

Are there girls here who like group sex?

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

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

Why don't I want to talk to my girlfriend when she loves me a lot? I feel bored.

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

3. Turn Off the AC

toughness is to meditate.

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

Is there any truth to the claim that Kamala Harris got where she is by sleeping around, or is that just typical conservative bigotry?

4. Meditate

Our lives are way too easy.

2. One More Rep

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).

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

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

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

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

So how do you cultivate mental

It’s funny…

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Plain and simple.

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.

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 to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.

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

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

strength over time.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

strength.

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

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

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.

7. Go Through Hell Week

strength?

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.

as a Navy SEAL.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Seriously.
