How do I become mentally strong?

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.

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).

7. Go Through Hell Week

Why do atheists not love a G-d that does not stop punishing them harder and harder in this world and the next until they surrender to Him?

Plain and simple.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

If everyone in Russia dropped into holes in the ground only never to return, would that be good for NATO and international peacekeepers? Can we convince Russians to be less diabolical, so they coexist? Does Putin stink like doo doo in the commode?

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.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

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

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

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

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

It’s funny…

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

1. Cold Showers

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.

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

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

strength over time.

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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.

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