How do I become mentally strong?

strength isn’t rocket science.

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.

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.

Do individuals with borderline personality disorder have awareness of their actions or do they believe their behavior is normal?

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

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

I just cannot wake up early, even if I sleep on time. What should I do?

Another great way to boost your mental

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

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

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

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.

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

Why is my vagina swollen, it’s very itchy. I had sex we used protection, but day after it felt like my insides had a heartbeat as well as itching, the pulsing has went away but it is still itchy and my discharge is yellow, i'm 15, what could it be?

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

3. Turn Off the AC

Which feels physically better for guys: vaginal sex or anal sex?

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Why do people stop working towards achieving their dreams?

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.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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).

Did Obito ever fully redeem himself in everyone's eyes?

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

So how do you cultivate mental

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

toughness is to meditate.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

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.

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

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

2. One More Rep

Try it… You’ll see.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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.

Mental

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

strength?

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

4. Meditate

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

Seriously.

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.

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.

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test 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.

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

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.

It’s funny…

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

1. Cold Showers

5. Give Up a Vice

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

Plain and simple.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

toughness.

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

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.
