How do I become mentally strong?

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

What happened to the American Russell Bentley from Texas that was fighting for the pro-Russian commies?

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.

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

4. Meditate

What are some great short jokes?

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

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

If you were president, how would you make America "great again?"

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

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

From an axiology/value theory point of view, how can one say that a diverse society is better than a uniform one, especially given the negative effects of diversity (racism, sectarian conflict, problems arising from extreme cultural relativism)?

So how do you cultivate mental

It’s funny…

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

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.

7. Go Through Hell Week

Does Taylor Swift actually play the guitar, or is it a prop?

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.

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.

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

What qualities do single women typically look for in a man? Is it a common preference for women to want a man who earns more than they do?

Another great way to boost your mental

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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).

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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.

Try it… You’ll see.

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

strength over time.

5. Give Up a Vice

2. One More Rep

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

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

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.

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?)

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

Mental

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

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

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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.

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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