How do I become mentally strong?

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

Who has experienced what they called a happy accident (bestiality)?

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

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

What are "demonic attacks" and how can one tell when they're happening to them, or someone else? How would one go about dealing with it?

7. Go Through Hell Week

Plain and simple.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Seriously.

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

Try it… You’ll see.

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Have you ever had a weird experience immediately following the death of a loved one that made you think there is an afterlife and that the deceased person was communicating with you?

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

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).

Why do people who were very kind and loving once become cold-hearted?

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

It’s funny…

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

So how do you cultivate mental

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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

2. One More Rep

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.

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

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.

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 this off by doing it for one day.

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?)

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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

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

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.

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’m just better at handling the suck.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

1. Cold Showers

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

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 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.

3. Turn Off the AC

4. Meditate

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