How do I become mentally strong?

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

So how do you cultivate mental

What did Chandrashekhar Azad say about Hinduism during a podcast?

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

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

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.

What does it mean when a guy says he's afraid of falling for someone else after going through heartbreaks?

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

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

Can you name a female actress who has had bad timing or luck in her film career?

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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.

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

What have I done wrong? How can I start over?

7. Go Through Hell Week

How does Bollywood influence Indian culture?

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.

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

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.

Did you know God exists? 900+ answers later and no atheist has yet to be successful. Day 8 of asking Atheists to provide a SINGLE argument that demonstrates a cause for the beginning of the universe while avoiding the problem of infinite regression.

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

My marriage is fixed. My future husband repeatedly calls me to meet me in private and pressure me to have a relationship. What should I do?

Plain and simple.

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

2. One More Rep

Are narcissists happy people generally?

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

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.

How did you cope when someone you love, dealing with hyper-independence and trauma, felt they needed space to heal alone? Were you able to support them without overstepping, and did you eventually reconnect? How did that journey unfold?

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

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Another great way to boost your mental

toughness is to meditate.

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).

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.

Our lives are way too easy.

Mental

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

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

Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than 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?)

strength isn’t rocket science.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

It’s funny…

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test 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.

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.

toughness by turning the AC off.

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.

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

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

as a Navy SEAL.

Try it… You’ll see.

3. Turn Off the AC

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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.

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.

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.

4. Meditate

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

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.

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

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

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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