How do I become mentally strong?

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.

toughness is to meditate.

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

I've never read the book. What did Dorian Grey do that was so immoral and sinful?

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

I’d challenge you to stretch 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.

What frustrates you the most?

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

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.

Mental

Why do so many 18 to 29-year-old men struggle in dating?

Seriously.

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

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

How can Democrats not feel hypocritical when they urge Trump not to be vengeful should be become president when the Democrats are trying to put Trump into prison?

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

strength over time.

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

5. Give Up a Vice

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

Why is watching a man and a woman have sex considered perverted? It's how we all got here, it's what we do, I say if you want to watch porn then carry on!

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Where are the big girls? This is the first time I've seen a bigger lady boy and that's awesome .. you should post more of them here, nothing wrong with a thick black lady

1. Cold Showers

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

How do I run away? I'm 15 and live in Oklahoma.

2. One More Rep

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

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.

What do you think about the NFA full auto band? Weapons built before 1986 can be transferred and registered? But we can't have an 87? But older weapons tend to be far more powerful. I think we should drop it. Input?

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

4. Meditate

So how do you cultivate mental

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.

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

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

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

It’s funny…

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.

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

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).

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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.

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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

Our lives are way too easy.

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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

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.

Plain and simple.

strength isn’t rocket science.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

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.

Try it… You’ll see.

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

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.

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?)

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

3. Turn Off the AC

toughness.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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.

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

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