How do I become mentally strong?

4. Meditate

Start this off by doing it for one 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

Are there any queer Space Marine Legion in Warhammer 30k or 40k?

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

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

It’s funny…

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

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).

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.

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?)

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

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

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.

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

What makes outside showers appealing? Why are they not commonly seen?

3. Turn Off the AC

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

My parents force me (15yo atheist) to go to church, and there’s this thing called Small Sundays where we discuss the Bible in groups, there are questions asked about the Bible. What am I supposed to do when they ask?

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

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

Try it… You’ll see.

Why didn't my ex fight for our relationship? He gave up so easily.

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

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.

Why does everyone hate Anthony Joshua so much? I get that he isn’t the best heavyweight boxer ever but people claim he’s a no skill fighter but he has an Olympic gold medal, a world championship, and beat Klitschko, a dominant force in boxing

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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

What are some great short jokes?

1. Cold Showers

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.

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.

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.

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

2. One More Rep

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

Overthinking is killing me day-by-day. What should I do?

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.

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

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

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your 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.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Seriously.

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

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

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.
