How do I become mentally strong?

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?)

strength isn’t rocket science.

3. Turn Off the AC

Who is the most trusted person in your life, and do they have the same trust on you?

1. Cold Showers

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

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

Will my 9 year old face more difficulties than most girls her age if she’s an early bloomer? My daughter already needs regular B cup bras. The doctor says that my daughter will be even more developed by 11-12 years of age.

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

Plain and simple.

2. One More Rep

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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.

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

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

In an interview Donald Trump said Taylor Swift could be a success in the music industry if she was not so liberal. What do you think? Is Trump correct that Swift is failing as a singer and should listen to his advice about her politics?

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

Is it possible for humans to determine their past life as an animal? Is there a scientific method to prove this?

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…

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

Our lives are way too easy.

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.

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

It’s funny…

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

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

toughness is to meditate.

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

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.

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.

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

Try it… You’ll see.

Seriously.

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.

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.

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

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

4. Meditate

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

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

5. Give Up a Vice

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

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).

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.
