How do I become mentally strong?

toughness is to wake up earlier.

4. Meditate

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

What are some good inspirational movies?

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

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.

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

Why do entitled people demand that I pick up after my doggo when he goes to the bathroom? Do they not know that doggy doo decomposes & feeds the plants?

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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.

What questions are asked in a JP Morgan Hirevue interview?

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

5. Give Up a Vice

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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.

Can I use ChatGPT to get chapter ideas? I’ll be writing it with my own words but I just get writer’s block when it comes to what to write?

Why do people who aren't trans feel the need to put pronouns next to their name or picture? It seems so cringeworthy to me, to participate in that SJW paradigm of thought, like they are a spineless person who just goes along with the trends.

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

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.

Try it… You’ll see.

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

Seriously.

toughness is to meditate.

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

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?)

It’s funny…

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

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.

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

2. One More Rep

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.

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.

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.

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).

1. Cold Showers

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

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

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

Mental

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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.

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

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.

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

strength over time.

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

3. Turn Off 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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

Another great way to boost your mental

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

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

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.

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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

Plain and simple.
