How do I become mentally strong?

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

Why did Amazon initially deny leave of absence to Alexis Scott-Windham, the Amazon worker who survived the New Orleans terrorist attack?

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

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.

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.

I wore a Trump hat to a doctor’s visit. The doctor made a strange comment, he was obviously on the opposite political point that make me uncomfortable. What shall I do on my next visit?

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

Seriously.

So how do you cultivate mental

Are today’s baseball pitchers faster than a few years ago, or is it that radar guns have improved and get the pitch speed as it is released rather than as it reaches the plate?

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

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.

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

According to Amy Schumer, John Cena was actually inside of her during the TrainWreck love scene. I thought that was illegal in Hollywood?

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

toughness.

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.

What was the most inappropriate thing your parent caught you doing as a teen? Was in the bedroom, I thought nobody else was home. My sister and I shared that bedroom but I knew she was gone. I didn’t know my dad was home though.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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?)

How do we greet in German, French, Spanish, and Italian?

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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.

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

Hillary thinks we must censor or "we lose total control". Why does she demand total control?

1. Cold Showers

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.

I just cannot wake up early, even if I sleep on time. What should I do?

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

What is the meaning of "ero" in Japanese?

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

Plain and simple.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

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

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

It’s funny…

strength isn’t rocket science.

Another great way to boost your mental

2. One More Rep

3. Turn Off the AC

The same way you get physically stronger…

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).

5. Give Up a Vice

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

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 it… You’ll see.

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.

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

strength over time.

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

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.

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.

4. Meditate

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

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

toughness is to meditate.

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

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.

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.

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