How do I become mentally strong?

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.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

To a flat Earther, what's wrong with the idea that gravity is simply a force inherent to space which operates only in one dimension? Why do they go further and try to deny gravity rather than just saying it's different than physicists claim?

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

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

In my experience, British people are fat, ugly and arrogant. Why is it and can it be changed?

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.

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 is your opinion? I am 150-152 and I feel short. I’m 15 years old. I feel like this makes me look like a baby and ugly on most clothes.

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

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

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

Could some kind lady post me a photo of her hairy spread pussy? It has become extremely difficult to find new amateur photos and I would be infinitely grateful.

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

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.

So how do you cultivate mental

What’s the craziest thing you’ve heard pretending to be asleep?

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

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.

Why do I feel like something bad is going to happen to me?

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Do you enjoy cheating on your spouse? If so, why?

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.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

Is it possible for people who claim to be genuine and honest to actually not be? If so, why do they behave this way?

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.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

My marriage is fixed. My future husband repeatedly calls me to meet me in private and pressure me to have a relationship. What should I do?

as a Navy SEAL.

Seriously.

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

2. One More Rep

Try it… You’ll see.

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

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

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

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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 funny…

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

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

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

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).

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.

Plain and simple.

3. Turn Off the AC

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

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?)

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.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
