How do I become mentally strong?

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

Seriously.

At what point does trespassing become self defense? What are the necessary conditions for this line to be crossed from trespassing to self defense?

2. One More Rep

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.

Mental

Why do so many men wait until they are retired or close to it to start having sex with Men? Most of them say they have always wanted to suck dick or be fucked. Why did you wait?

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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.

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

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

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’m just better at handling the suck.

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

Our lives are way too easy.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

Why do entitled people demand that I pick up after my doggo when he goes to the bathroom? Do they not know that doggy doo decomposes & feeds the plants?

3. Turn Off the AC

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

toughness.

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

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

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 meditate.

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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.

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

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

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.

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?)

Try it… You’ll see.

strength over time.

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).

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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.

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

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.

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

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

It’s funny…

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.
