How do I become mentally strong?

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

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?)

What's an underrated/unknown novel or series that you think deserves more attention?

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

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

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

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.

So how do you cultivate mental

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

What does it mean when your husband comments and likes other women on social media? He has private IG and TikTok accounts that I have no access to. He has saved videos and pictures of women on his phone.

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

1. Cold Showers

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

Why do certain religions consider menstruating women to be impure? Where did the concept of impurity stem from?

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Why am I attracted to older men?

toughness by turning the AC off.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

What do you think, TikTok is nothing but another porn site? Do you agree or not? Why?

Try it… You’ll see.

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 funny…

What is one thing nice you did for someone today or something they did for you?

toughness is to meditate.

Our lives are way too easy.

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.

What questions will be asked by the executive director of JP Morgan for 6 years of experience in Java? The technical rounds are already cleared.

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.

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.

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

Why cant I sleep? When I'm about to fall asleep, I get excited that im about to sleep, causing me to wake up again. It repeats till my sleepiness is gone. I tried taking melatonin and not using my phone, but I end upawake for hours.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

Why do people who were very kind and loving once become cold-hearted?

Seriously.

4. Meditate

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

What’s the craziest thing you’ve heard pretending to be asleep?

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.

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

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

Why is Taylor Swift re-recording her albums?

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).

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

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

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.

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.

strength over time.

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.

strength.

strength?

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

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

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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.

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

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.

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

Mental

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

Plain and simple.

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

2. One More Rep

toughness.

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

Another great way to boost your 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.

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

3. Turn Off the AC
