How do I become mentally strong?

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

5. Give Up a Vice

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.

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

1. Cold Showers

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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.

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?)

toughness is to meditate.

Why has my ex moved on so fast after years of being together with me?

Plain and simple.

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

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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.

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

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.

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

Why would you think you're fit to be a model?

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

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

Do you think that drug addiction is a symptom of larger societal ills? What is it about our culture that leaves so many feeling like they're inadequate, trying any ill to find a cure?

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

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

So how do you cultivate mental

Mental

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.

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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

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.

4. Meditate

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

2. One More Rep

strength.

Try it… You’ll see.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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

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.

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

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.

It’s funny…

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.

strength?

Seriously.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

Another great way to boost your mental

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

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

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

toughness by turning the AC off.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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.
