How do I become mentally strong?

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

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?)

3. Turn Off the AC

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Why do American conservatives say that America is a constitutional republic and not a democracy? Would it not make sense to call America a constitutional republican democracy?

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.

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

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

7. Go Through Hell Week

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).

5. Give Up a Vice

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

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

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 are seriously wanting to give up a vice (like smoking or drinking), you’ll want to throw away anything that reminds you of it.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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?

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

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

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

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.

strength over time.

So how do you cultivate mental

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.

Have you ever had a bad gut feeling about someone and it was right?

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

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

strength?

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.

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.

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.

2. One More Rep

strength isn’t rocket science.

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.

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

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.

Plain and simple.

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

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

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

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