How do I become mentally strong?

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

5. Give Up a Vice

Try it… You’ll see.

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

strength isn’t rocket science.

7. Go Through Hell Week

Plain and simple.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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).

Can a cop pull you over walking home asking why you are out so late?

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

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 and you’ll be amazed by the results.

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

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

Mental

What is better, 4 more years of Trump with the media trying to hurt him, or 8 years of DeSantis with the media licking booty, or 4 to 8 years of RFK with the media hating on him all the time? (Biden is not an option, he can't win)

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

What makes you think that former U.S. President Donald Trump's legal team has already been laying the groundwork for an appeal in the hush money trial?

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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?)

Why is it common for guys to sleep with 10-20 women then marry a good girl?

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

toughness is to meditate.

It’s funny…

Why do men love boobs (irrespective of big or small)?

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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

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

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.

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

Another great way to boost your mental

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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.

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

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.

Seriously.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

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

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

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.

4. Meditate

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

3. Turn Off the AC

strength over time.

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.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

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

2. One More Rep

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

So how do you cultivate mental

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.

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

as a Navy SEAL.

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

toughness.

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.

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.

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