How do I become mentally strong?

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

1. Cold Showers

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.

Why do only ugly women like me on Tinder? Is it because I'm an ugly man?

Another great way to boost your mental

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

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

Is it possible that my TF caused a kundalini awakening in another person? He is famous because He is a singer. We have not met physically yet, but I have gone through kundalini awakening and DNOTS and their ongoing. I have also had soul recognition so I know for sure that He is my Divine Counterpart and I do not have any doubts about it. But it is indeed perplexing that somebody had an awakening at the physical level because of Him. Is it a test for me? I have a mixture of feelings. On one hand I marvelled at Him and empathised with the person and on the other, I doubt if this just a test for me. I would appreciate your pov. Thank you for much.

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

2. One More Rep

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

How come Jesus died on Friday and rose on Sunday? That's not 3 days and three nights.

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

Do you think some men have sex with prostitutes because they're too afraid to talk to women? Money does the talking for them.

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

Why cant I motivate myself to go to school (grade 10)?

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

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

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

3. Turn Off the AC

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

What does it mean when we dream about demons, ghosts, monsters, etc.?

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

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

strength?

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

Seriously.

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

Are there really people who still believe the Earth is flat?

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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?)

How does gut health affect mental well-being?

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.

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

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

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.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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

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.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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

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

5. Give Up a Vice

toughness is to wake up earlier.

Plain and simple.

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.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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.

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.

strength isn’t rocket science.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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 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.

So how do you cultivate mental

toughness is to meditate.

Mental

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

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

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

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

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

Try it… You’ll see.

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’d challenge you to stretch your mental

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

It’s funny…

4. Meditate

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).
