How do I become mentally strong?

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

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

Another great way to boost your mental

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

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.

2. One More Rep

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

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

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.

Our lives are way too easy.

How can you tell if someone or someone's is trying to recruit or at least test you for a secret organization?

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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.

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?)

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

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.

Are the seasons in Ireland different from those in Scotland, England, and Wales? Or are they just milder versions of each other?

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

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

Why is it after eating almonds when I’m occupied, I don’t feel mild itch, but as soon as I have nothing to do, I feel mildly itchy?

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

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).

5. Give Up a Vice

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

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.

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.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

3. Turn Off the AC

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

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

1. Cold Showers

Try it… You’ll see.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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.

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

Seriously.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

strength?

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

So how do you cultivate 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.

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