How do I become mentally strong?

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

Why am I so jealous towards couples? Why am I tired of being single and feel my life is over?

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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.

So how do you cultivate mental

What were some things that the ancient Greeks excelled at compared to the Romans?

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

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

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

Why was Cars 2 so bad?

as a Navy SEAL.

toughness by turning the AC off.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

Have you ever witnessed political correctness harm someone?

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

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

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

Does a narcissist ever get their comeuppance/karma for the vile things they've done? Such as cheating, smear campaign, etc.

Another great way to boost your mental

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

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.

What are the main issues that have historically and currently divided Republicans and Democrats?

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.

strength?

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Do very hot men ever feel attracted to an ugly woman? Why?

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

It’s funny…

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Why do flat-earth conspiracy theorists believe that photos from space, including those of satellites, are fake?

Seriously.

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

What sexual fantasies do you have?

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.

toughness.

What is your biggest mistake or regret?

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.

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

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).

What seemingly minor decision or moment in your past ended up having a massive impact on your entire life trajectory?

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

3. Turn Off the AC

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

It’s been over a month since I stopped taking sertraline but why do I still feel side effects like brain zaps and anxiety mood changes? The root cause of anxiety it’s your thinking and I perfectly master that better than before so it’s hard lately.

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.

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

Trump must stop the AI bloodbath before it’s too late - The Hill

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

4. Meditate

strength.

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.

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

Mental

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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.

toughness is to meditate.

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

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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.

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

2. One More Rep

1. Cold Showers

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.

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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.

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

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

Try it… You’ll see.

strength over time.

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

5. Give Up a Vice

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

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?)
