How do I become mentally strong?

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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.

Would Donald Trump's reelection make the world more dangerous?

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.

as a Navy SEAL.

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.

Why do ugly men flirt with girls that are really hot?

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.

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

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

What makes someone feel "rich enough" in different societies?

So how do you cultivate mental

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.

Why is the Middle East prone to terrorism?

Start this off by doing it for one day.

It’s funny…

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Are there any Hollywood celebrities who never divorced? Why does it seem like celebrities are likely to get divorced frequently?

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

toughness.

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

What does it mean when I have a dream where my friend died? I had this dream last night where one of my friends died in a shootout and I woke up crying.

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.

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

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

What is better, 4 more years of Trump with the media trying to hurt him, or 8 years of DeSantis with the media licking booty, or 4 to 8 years of RFK with the media hating on him all the time? (Biden is not an option, he can't win)

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

Seriously.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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.

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

Try it… You’ll see.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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?)

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

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

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 is to wake up earlier.

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

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

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.

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

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

2. One More Rep

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

4. Meditate

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.

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

strength over time.

strength.

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

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

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).

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Another great way to boost your mental

Mental

toughness is to meditate.

strength?

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.

Plain and simple.

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

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.

3. Turn Off the AC

strength isn’t rocket science.

5. Give Up a Vice

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

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.
