How do I become mentally strong?

Plain and simple.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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

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

Is there anything you did that you regret? If so, what is it, and why?

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

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.

Republicans, why do you support Kamala Harris over Donald Trump?

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

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 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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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?)

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

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

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

It’s funny…

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

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

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

Another great way to boost your mental

So how do you cultivate mental

Try it… You’ll see.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

4. Meditate

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.
