How do I become mentally strong?

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Are democrats inherently stupid or just lazy? They can Google " Ohio is investigating reports by residents that migrants are eating the local wildlife " why can't they seem to do the most simple things? Blind, ignorant, stupid or obtuse?

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental

3. Turn Off the AC

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

How can you maintain self-control?

2. One More Rep

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

strength.

Why did my 2001 4.6 liter Mustang GT V8 make "only" 260 HP while today's base Dodge 3.6 liter V6 churns out almost 300 HP? Both benefit from fuel injection and ECUs.

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

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

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

strength isn’t rocket science.

Short story writers, what is your favorite character you've created and do they appear in more than one of your works?

Our lives are way too easy.

Seriously.

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

Why do British people always write "xxx" after their names?

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

Is it possible for creatures with intelligence more advanced than humans to evolve naturally in the universe?

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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.

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

How does it feel to watch your wife get fucked hard?

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

toughness is to meditate.

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

What if you were the only and last person left on Earth. How will you survive and what would you do with your life?

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

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

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.

Trump always acts like he was forced to be president, that he was chosen by God. Why do we put up with this? This maniac can't focus and get his mind off of being asskissed like an emperor.

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

Why do people hate fat people so much, even people who aren't exactly supermodels themselves? It seems like such a deep, passionate hatred, like they're offended by fat people just existing. Fat people didn't do anything to them, so why hate them?

Mental

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

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)?

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.

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).

toughness is to wake up earlier.

Is there a correlation between being a medium and mental health?

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

So how do you cultivate mental

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

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

It’s funny…

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

1. Cold Showers

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.

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

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.

Plain and simple.

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Another great way to boost your mental

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?)

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.

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.

as a Navy SEAL.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

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

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

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

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

I’d challenge you to stretch your 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

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.
