How do I become mentally strong?

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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.

Do girls ever miss their first love?

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

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

How can I stop drinking?

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

Why did Cartman love Heidi purely with heart, her being the first one he ever did, but then one day Butters tells him that all women are manipulative and then he began to believe that she was a bad person and pretended to be a victim?

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

toughness is to meditate.

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

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

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.

Why cant I sleep? When I'm about to fall asleep, I get excited that im about to sleep, causing me to wake up again. It repeats till my sleepiness is gone. I tried taking melatonin and not using my phone, but I end upawake for hours.

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?)

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).

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

What is the correct way to say "you're welcome" in French? Is it "de rien" or something else, and if so, what is it exactly (including accent marks)?

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

Is GATE tougher than JEE?

Seriously.

2. One More Rep

So how do you cultivate mental

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

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

1. Cold Showers

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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.

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

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

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

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.

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

strength over time.

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

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.

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

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Plain and simple.

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

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.

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

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