How do I become mentally strong?

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

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

Do you ever feel like you are doing good, but would do better if people hadn’t blamed you or even bothered you? I have gotten lonely, but I always am up to something (creating my destiny).

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

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

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

What type of narcissist cheats more and gets pleasure out of hurting you, even if they're married?

Seriously.

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

What do you think of Andrew Tate?

3. Turn Off the AC

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

What's your photograph of the day 1097?

toughness.

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.

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

Why did it take seven days for troops with helicopters, equipment, supplies, food, and water to be dispatched to southeast storm zones?

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.

strength over time.

What can you do if you are a full-grown adult, but never experienced being a child?

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.

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

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.

What causes tension between liberals and conservatives? Is it purely based on ideological differences or are there other factors at play?

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

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

Inflation report suggests damage from Trump's tariffs isn't guaranteed - Axios

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Try it… You’ll see.

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

Doesn't Musk hire Security for his Tesla dealerships?

So how do you cultivate mental

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

As a woman, what would be you response to a male friend’s offer of a full body massage?

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.

Mental

toughness is to meditate.

What does it mean when a British person says "I can't be asked"?

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

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

4. Meditate

What do you think of the 2 female 18 and 19 year-old German tourists, detained in Honolulu, strip-searched, put in green jumpsuits, placed in a holding cell and the next day deported, for the terrible crime of not pre-booking a hotel for their trip?

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

2. One More Rep

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

How do you deal with a neighbor stealing?

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

strength?

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

Is BPD real or just an excuse?

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

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

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.

strength.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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.

as a Navy SEAL.

1. Cold Showers

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

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.

It’s funny…

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Plain and simple.

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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).
