How do I become mentally strong?

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

Plain and simple.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Another great way to boost your mental

3. Turn Off the AC

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.

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

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

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

strength isn’t rocket science.

Is it normal to hate my dog, but feel too guilty to get rid of him?

1. Cold Showers

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Isn’t freedom of speech and expression an absolute right?

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.

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

Our lives are way too easy.

Why can't the ISS take a picture of Earth and prove to the Flat Earth Society that Earth is not really flat?

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 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.

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

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?)

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

It’s funny…

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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.

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

Why do so many men on the internet try to compete with women, or try to "humble" and bash them? There's so many videos across my tiktok and YouTube of men claiming how they're wanting to get back at women and put them in thier place.

2. One More Rep

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

🔥Why has Prime Narendra Modi become Extremely FRUSTRATED and Highly DEPRESSED because he has NOT been invited by Donald Trump to witness his Oath Ceremony for his INAUGURATION on 20th January as the next PRESIDENT of USA? Does the DESPERATE Narendra Modi FEAR that Donald Trump's actions may even LEAD to the FALL of the BJP-led MINORITY Government in India, as such actions have already caused GREAT PANIC in the NDA Coalition?

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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.

toughness is to meditate.

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

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

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.

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 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).

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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.

Seriously.

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

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.

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

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

5. Give Up a Vice

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

Mental

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

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.

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

4. Meditate

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

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.

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

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

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

strength.

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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.

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

So how do you cultivate mental

strength over time.

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

Try it… You’ll see.
