How do I become mentally strong?

toughness by turning the AC off.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

Why are liberals so bad at grasping alternative facts? For example, if something doesn’t happen the exact same way Trump described it, liberals dismiss it as false; while conservatives are able to fully understand the underlying principle.

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

5. Give Up a Vice

1. Cold Showers

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.

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.

What is the one thing you don't understand that others do?

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).

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

From 1 to 10, how dark is the Naruto fandom? Why?

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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?)

If Donald Trump is so evil and Joe Biden is so good why is Trump the one selflessly providing Bibles for the needy while Biden doesn't? Why doesn't Biden care for America's spiritually needy people as much as Trump?

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

toughness.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Could the guys here tell me how their first experience with a trans woman was? Who was the lady to you? ( I mean girlfriend, one night stand, etc.) I just had my first experience recently and I would like to know about others?

3. Turn Off the AC

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

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

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

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.

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 is to wake up earlier.

Is there a musician who has publicly stated that they do not want their music played by the Trump campaign or at a Trump rally? If so, who and why?

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

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.

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

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

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Another great way to boost your mental

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

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

What should I do to get over a relationship?

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

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

4. Meditate

toughness is to meditate.

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

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

So how do you cultivate mental

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

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.

as a Navy SEAL.

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.

strength.

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

strength over time.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

Seriously.

2. One More Rep

Mental

It’s funny…

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

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

Plain and simple.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Start with only 12–24 hours.
