How do I become mentally strong?

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Artists get better with age, e.g., painting. Yet when it comes to pop music, the famous work tends to be written when musicians are in their twenties. So, why aren't Bob Dylan or the Stones banging out amazing tunes now?

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

Why do I get spun and then want big fat cocks to suck?

5. Give Up a Vice

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

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.

What legal actions can be taken if a neighbor's unleashed dog causes harm or injury?

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

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

Can I have a comfortable life as a nurse in Sweden? Can I buy a house and not worry about the cost of living?

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

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Why do people hate fat people so much, even people who aren't exactly supermodels themselves? It seems like such a deep, passionate hatred, like they're offended by fat people just existing. Fat people didn't do anything to them, so why hate them?

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?)

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.

Relocating to Sweden to save money. I got a job offer of 47000SEK before tax, visas sponsored for my wife & my mother (with a laryngectomy). My wife, a general medicine graduate, wants to specialize in Sweden. Can we live well and save 4000€ monthly?

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

Did the Sumerians, Babylonians and, other Mesopotamians create more, influence more and, were more advanced than Egypt?

strength isn’t rocket science.

It’s funny…

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.

Is Europe willing to risk losing its alliance with the United States, if they choose to continue the war in Ukraine?

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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.

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.

If white people had been slaves, would WLM be a thing right now?

strength?

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.

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

Is a man over 50 not married no kids a red flag?

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

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

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

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”.

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

toughness is to meditate.

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

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

4. Meditate

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

as a Navy SEAL.

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

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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

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.

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.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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).

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Plain and simple.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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

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

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

So how do you cultivate mental

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

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

1. Cold Showers

3. Turn Off the AC
