How do I become mentally strong?

So how do you cultivate mental

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).

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.

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

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

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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.

1. Cold Showers

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.

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.

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

2. One More Rep

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

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

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

It’s funny…

strength isn’t rocket science.

How long can a marriage survive after a long-term affair?

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

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

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 caught my husband of 20 years looking at inappropriate pics of women on TikTok or Instagram. I'm not sure., but when I told him he got mad and made excuses of why they popped up. I then told him how I've snuck on his phone and saw what he's been looking at . We had a horrible big fight. I asked him why did he even marry me when I see the type he likes . Nothing like me, I'm petite, blonde and blue eyes. These women are dark haired dark eyed and have curvy bodies, large breasts, etc. I just don't feel the same about him after this. I can't get over this

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

4. Meditate

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

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.

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.

Plain and simple.

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.

strength.

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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 and you’ll be amazed by the results.

toughness.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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

Another great way to boost your mental

One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build 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.

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.

toughness is to meditate.

Try it… You’ll see.

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

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

strength over time.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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

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.

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

3. Turn Off the AC

5. Give Up a Vice

toughness is to wake up earlier.

Seriously.

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