How do I become mentally strong?

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’m just better at handling the suck.

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.

2. One More Rep

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

Why do some people tell the girl I like that I don’t like her when I do like her?

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

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

Recently, I cleared my JP Morgan coding round. Next, I received mail for a video interview. What kind of questions are asked in this round? How do I prepare myself?

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

strength over time.

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.

How can I get my ex-husband to love me again?

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

What was your best revenge story?

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

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.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

What shocking family behavior did you read about in India?

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

5. Give Up a Vice

Moderate liberals, if any use leftist Quora, how do you feel about being associated with those who enjoy burning American flags, supporting Hamas, having men competing against women in sports, open borders, green new deal and general wokery?

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

Seriously.

Try it… You’ll see.

What are some interests in sharing pictures of wives?

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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).

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

How come I can't stay sober?

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

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.

Atheists who have read the Bible and think that contains immoral things, why do you assume that?

as a Navy SEAL.

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

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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.

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.

strength?

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

7. Go Through 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?)

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

So how do you cultivate mental

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

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

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.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

toughness is to meditate.

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

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

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.

strength isn’t rocket science.

toughness.

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.

Plain and simple.

It’s funny…

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

4. Meditate

1. Cold Showers

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.

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

3. Turn Off the AC

Another great way to boost your mental

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

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.
