How do I become mentally strong?

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

Mental

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

My landlord just sold the house I’m renting from her. She included all fixtures, that I bought and installed. Does she have this right?

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

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).

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

How do I deal with autistic burnout/meltdown/shutdown when cooking?

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.

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

How much of lounge pianists playing is from repertoire, and how much is improvised?

strength?

as a Navy SEAL.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Does meth make women super horny like it does men?

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.

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

Everyone says the pet population is out of control. Everyone says you MUST spay or neuter your pets. No one wants to talk about how its almost $1,000 to spay or neuter a pet. Why is it so expensive if its so necessary? Animal shelters do it for free.

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

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

Do all armies have the same rank structure?

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

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

Can you turn 150 pages into a 5 minute presentation before a meeting?

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

Seriously.

Is depression a cause for always feeling tired?

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

Why do men love swallowing more then women? Is it just because women just don't try eating CUM? they be missing some delicious CUM.. Life is short and women are missing out of lots of enjoyment..

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.

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.

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

Why do foolish atheists think their strange delusional theories are facts?

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

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

Why is every human messed up in some way?

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

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

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

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

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

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

5. Give Up a Vice

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Another great way to boost your mental

toughness.

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.

3. Turn Off the AC

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

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

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.

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

toughness is to meditate.

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

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

4. Meditate

strength.

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.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

1. Cold Showers

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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?)

I’m just better at handling the suck.

strength isn’t rocket science.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

The same way you get physically stronger…

strength over time.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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 how do you cultivate mental

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

Plain and simple.

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

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.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

It’s funny…
