How do I become mentally strong?

as a Navy SEAL.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

Are rich people harder workers than poor people as a whole?

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).

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

1. Cold Showers

Why do I feel so tired all the time even after a good night’s sleep?

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

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

What seemingly minor decision or moment in your past ended up having a massive impact on your entire life trajectory?

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

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

5. Give Up a Vice

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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.

How do I seduce my sister? (I am an Indian) I want to have sex with her.?

Our lives are way too easy.

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

strength over time.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

Why is Tiananmen Square censored?

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.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Why all the fuss about Trump’s policy initiatives? Isn’t he just trying to set a moral tone for the Republican Party to make America great again?

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

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

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

Why does my dog keep licking at her privates now? She is 7 years old and has barely started licking there. The vet said she’s fine but she keeps doing that.

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

If we do not know the name of the father of a child, e.g. a foundling, an illegitimate, etc., then to whom should the bin or the binti of the child's name be applied?

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Why is my coworker suddenly being so mean towards then being nice like nothing happened? She is nice with everyone but me.

Plain and simple.

The same way you get physically stronger…

2. One More Rep

Why do some women alter their faces by so-called cosmetic surgeries (on their eyes, cheeks, lips, chin, jaw) that making them look like Donald Duck or puffy aliens, while for most men these unnatural facial changes are ridiculous or even disgusting?

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

Seriously.

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.

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.

toughness.

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.

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.

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

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

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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

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

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

So how do you cultivate mental

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

It’s funny…

Try it… You’ll see.

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

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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.

Another great way to boost 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.

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

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.

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.

4. Meditate

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 isn’t rocket science.

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.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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