How do I become mentally strong?

5. Give Up a Vice

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

What is your review of "Regent", episode 5 of Season 2 House of the Dragon?

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.

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

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.

Were any US Generals hurt or killed yesterday in Damascus, Syria, yesterday 5/9/24?

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

toughness.

strength over time.

What story do you have involving a public restroom?

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

Why do US military soldiers/officers have a chest full of medal ribbons when they probably haven't been in a combat situation? Are the medals for attendance, good behaviour, or long service perhaps?

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

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

If Delta Force soldiers wanted to form a criminal gang, how dangerous would they be with all their equipment (explosives, rifles, vests, night vision goggles)?

1. Cold Showers

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

4. Meditate

Is there anything wrong with me because I'm still single?

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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.

How can I get over a break up?

Start with only 12–24 hours.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

as a Navy SEAL.

Why do you write?

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

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

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.

What causes you to be tired all the time and major headaches?

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

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

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.

How do empaths destroy narcissists?

Seriously.

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

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.

Democrat voters, why are you so naive, easy to manipulate, can't see a liar standing right in front of you and why won't you research your party? You will find they have a plan for all W. Nations and it's evil.

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

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.

Why after 50 years of being straight do I constantly desire to suck cock?

toughness is to meditate.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Another great way to boost your mental

Why are men ridiculously delusional in the women they want/approach? I'm not a troll. This is a real question. Why does a fat, pot bellied, unkempt, balding, stupid (ergo poor) man, tell a woman above his league that she isn't hot enough for him?

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

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.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

What can I say to a scammer who thinks he loves me, but I don't want to be scammed?

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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

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

2. One More Rep

The same way you get physically stronger…

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?)

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

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

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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.

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

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

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

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

strength?

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

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

It’s funny…

3. Turn Off the AC

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

So how do you cultivate mental

7. Go Through Hell Week

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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).

Plain and simple.

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