How do I become mentally strong?

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.

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

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.

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.

3. Turn Off the AC

as a Navy SEAL.

What does it mean when your husband comments and likes other women on social media? He has private IG and TikTok accounts that I have no access to. He has saved videos and pictures of women on his phone.

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

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

If you’re an atheist, what would be your motive in spreading atheism, and why would you care what others believe?

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.

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.

Are miracles real or do they just have natural explanations?

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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

What does it mean if I had a dream about my mom who passed 12 years ago waking up from her coma and asking for my dad? I have never had a dreams about her since she has been gone.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Try it… You’ll see.

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

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?

2. One More Rep

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Can a twin flame runner be happy in a karmic relationship?

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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…

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

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.

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

Seriously.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

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).

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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.

Our lives are way too easy.

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.

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.

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

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.

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.
