How do I become mentally strong?

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

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

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

What have you learned from your parents' mistakes?

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.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

What makes outside showers appealing? Why are they not commonly seen?

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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

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?

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?)

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.

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).

1. Cold Showers

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Plain and simple.

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

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Another great way to boost your mental

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

So how do you cultivate mental

Seriously.

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.

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.

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

3. Turn Off the AC

Start this off by doing it for one 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.

2. One More Rep

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

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

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.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test 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.

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

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

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

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.
