How do I become mentally strong?

1. Cold Showers

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

5. Give Up a Vice

When was the first time your wife had beastiality?

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

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)

Why, after a divorce, would one still want to ruin the other one’s life?

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).

I’m just better at handling the suck.

3. Turn Off the AC

Did you become a cuckold for your wife?

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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.

2. One More Rep

What are James Potter's flaws?

Try it… You’ll see.

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

Another great way to boost your mental

Our lives are way too easy.

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

What has been your best sexual experience?

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

So how do you cultivate mental

Do you think cheating is that bad?

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.

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

Have you ever secretly watched someone while they were doing something private?

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

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.

How do people in your country say "you're welcome" in their native language(s)? Is it a commonly known phrase or do most people just reply with "no problem"?

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.

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

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

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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?)

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

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

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.

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

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

4. Meditate

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

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

It’s funny…

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.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

toughness is to meditate.

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

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.

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

Seriously.

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.

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

toughness.

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

Plain and simple.

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

as a Navy SEAL.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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
