How do I become mentally strong?

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

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

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.

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

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.

What is the most heartbreaking or sad love story that you ever had (experienced)?

Seriously.

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

Why are people so rude to debt collector’s? I am one and I am so tired of being mistreated. We are under paid and then have to deal with the most ungrateful, and disrespectful people. We aren’t customer service. Don’t get mad at us because YOU owe.

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

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

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 funny…

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

Why is India lagging behind China in economic development when India is a democracy while China isn’t?

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.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

Can the United States threaten the UK with destroying its economy to force it into anything, just like what happened in the Suez Crisis?

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

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

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

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

5. Give Up a Vice

This is a real question: Why do a lot of men/boys hate (yes, hate) women that voice their criteria in choosing a partner? Even when the criteria is sane and responsible. Besides it being, sadly, an effective mating strategy, why does it exist?

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

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

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 this off by doing it for one day.

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

Try it… You’ll see.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

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

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).

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

2. One More Rep

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.
