How do I become mentally strong?

Seriously.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

The same way you get physically stronger…

Can you share some of your favorite jokes that are not well-known but always make people laugh?

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.

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

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.

How far does good behavior take you in a prison?

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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.

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.

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

3. Turn Off the AC

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

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

Why do people who aren't trans feel the need to put pronouns next to their name or picture? It seems so cringeworthy to me, to participate in that SJW paradigm of thought, like they are a spineless person who just goes along with the trends.

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.

strength over time.

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

Why do nice guys rarely or never win?

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

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.

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?)

1. Cold Showers

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

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

Do people of NYC drive around Central Park all the time? Is there any subway tunnel to cross the park quickly? Is it annoying for people and does it cause traffic?

Our lives are way too easy.

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.

If my lovely sister sleeps with my boyfriend, what should I do about her?

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

In my experience, British people are fat, ugly and arrogant. Why is it and can it be changed?

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

So how do you cultivate mental

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

Why are some people afraid of monsters?

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

It’s funny…

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

2. One More Rep

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.

Summer here, the one who debunks atheism. Isn’t it funny how atheists always say they prefer a “no-nonsense, evidence-based approach” to understanding the world, but when I bring up logical arguments for theism, they suddenly clam up?

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

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

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Have you ever had sex with your female cousin? How did it start?

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

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

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

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

4. Meditate

as 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).

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

Another great way to boost your mental

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Plain and simple.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

strength isn’t rocket science.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

toughness by turning the AC off.

toughness is to meditate.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

5. Give Up a Vice

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Try it… You’ll see.
