How do I become mentally strong?

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

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.

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

How do people in your country say "you're welcome" in their native language(s)? Is it a commonly known phrase or do most people just reply with "no problem"?

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.

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

Seriously.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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

What were the career paths of each member of "The Monkees" after the band disbanded? Did any of them have successful music careers?

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

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

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

Do straight guys like to have sex with men when they smoke meth?

So how do you cultivate mental

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

What are some common examples of condescending behavior?

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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

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

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

How can someone express their love for a guy without using words? What are some actions that can convey love and care?

Try it… You’ll see.

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

Another great way to boost your mental

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.

2. One More Rep

Why do females hate MGTOW so much?

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

It’s funny…

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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

4. Meditate

as a Navy SEAL.

Plain and simple.

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.

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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

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.

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.

One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your 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).

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

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.

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?)

toughness is to wake up earlier.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Start with only 12–24 hours.
