How do I become mentally strong?

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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

I feel so attached and in love with a dead celebrity. My love for anyone else is overshadowed by my love for him. What does this mean?

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

It’s funny…

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

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

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

Is there any evidence to support the existence of people who have experienced "gangstalking"? Or is it a psychological phenomenon?

Try it… You’ll see.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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.

Why are fewer English people going to their local pubs for a drink? Are they aware that many pubs are shutting down due to lack of customers?

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

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

I refuse to date any women that are social media influencers, content creators, TikTok celebrities, and use Only fans. Would this be seen as normal, or would I be going too far? Why?

Plain and simple.

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?)

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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.

2. One More Rep

How does a 45-year-old man get a girlfriend?

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

4. Meditate

Why do people with trauma easily recognize other people with trauma through eye contact?

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

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).

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

What does it mean if you dream your dad died?

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

7. Go Through Hell Week

Can I use the LEG PRESS to build muscle?

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

5. Give Up a Vice

How do flat earthers explain the Earth being stationary? Is this concept considered impossible?

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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.

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

strength over time.

as a Navy SEAL.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

1. Cold Showers

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.

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

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.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

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

So how do you cultivate mental

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Start with only 12–24 hours.
