How do I become mentally strong?

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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.

What does it mean when a guy says he's afraid of falling for someone else after going through heartbreaks?

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

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.

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

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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.

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.

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

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.

What is better, 4 more years of Trump with the media trying to hurt him, or 8 years of DeSantis with the media licking booty, or 4 to 8 years of RFK with the media hating on him all the time? (Biden is not an option, he can't win)

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

1. Cold Showers

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

Why can't the US government force this new deep seek to not operate in the USA for security reasons? People's personal information will be available to China like TikTok was.

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.

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

Did you know that we white women prefer Black boyfriends?

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

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

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.

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).

Another great way to boost your mental

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.

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.

4. Meditate

toughness is to meditate.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

strength?

Seriously.

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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

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?)

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

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

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

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.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

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

2. One More Rep

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

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

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
