How do I become mentally strong?

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.

as a Navy SEAL.

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.

Are there any more 'nun' jokes?

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

5. Give Up a Vice

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

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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.

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.

Et expedita consequatur quam et.

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 with only 12–24 hours.

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

How do scammers communicate? Do they have a specific language or slang?

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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.

4. Meditate

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.

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

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

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

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

Do Marines really not need sleep during combat training or in general? If this is true, how and why is this possible?

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

Seriously.

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.

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

It’s funny…

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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.

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

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?)

Plain and simple.

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

2. One More Rep

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

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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.

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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).

1. Cold Showers

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

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.

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

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