How do I become 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.

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

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.

Have you ever heard of the god Priapus being the same as the god Phosphorus?

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

What exactly is the difference between a surge protector and a fuse? Can a fuse protect the electronic devices from lightning instead of surge protector?

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

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

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?

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.

Seriously.

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

Why is the left keep misrepresenting what Trump said about his daughter? When asked if he would date her if he weren’t her father, it simply reflected pride in raising a smart, respectful, and loving daughter with good morals all men want that no?

It’s funny…

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.

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

Canadians went out of their way to help Americans stranded in Canada after 9.11.2001. Why did Canadians help so much the way they did? We read that Canadians don't particularly like Americans to begin with.

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

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.

According to Trump, Ukraine started the war. Why?

as a Navy SEAL.

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

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

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).

Atheists who said that reading the Bible made them an atheist, how? Literally there are millions of people who read the Bible daily and still believe in God. So why say that? I mean unless you want to sound smart & edgy

strength over time.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

What started the whole idea of femboys? What is the whole point of a femboy? Did a boy or a man just randomly start dressing or acting feminine or something?

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

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?)

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

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.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Has anyone ever participated in a gang bang and what was it like?

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

Do you enjoy cheating on your spouse? If so, why?

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.

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

Our lives are way too easy.

How could Trump, with his deplorable garbage supporters, manage to win an election?

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.

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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

4. Meditate

So how do you cultivate mental

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

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

toughness is to meditate.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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.

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.

Plain and simple.

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

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

2. One More Rep

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

strength?

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.

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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