How do I become mentally strong?

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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

Why do Trump supporters believe Trump should deport the immigrants? These people you call "illegal immigrants" have lived here for many years, they have houses, jobs, how can you think they will just go back to their country, where they have nothing?

So how do you cultivate mental

I’d challenge you to stretch 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?)

What are some sad truths about life?

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

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

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

What is the worst emotional pain you ever felt as an adult?

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

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

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.

What are some examples of the use of the word “piacere” in Italian? What do they mean and how would you translate them into English?

7. Go Through Hell Week

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

What is the happy reality of our generation?

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.

4. Meditate

It’s funny…

If I only have a fire extinguisher to defend myself against some threat from people, should I spray them for max damage or just hit them with the fire extinguishers?

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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.

Why are the people who don't support the LGBT community treated like super evil and cruel beings? People can have different opinions and thoughts on things.

Try it… You’ll see.

5. Give Up a Vice

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

Why is Jack Smith arguing that presidents should not have full immunities as Trump is requesting?

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

2. One More Rep

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.

Can you share any "backstage pass" experiences you have had at concerts?

Seriously.

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.

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

as a Navy SEAL.

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.

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

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.

strength isn’t rocket science.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

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

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

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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).

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

Our lives are way too easy.

toughness by turning the AC off.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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.

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.

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

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

Plain and simple.

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

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

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

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

3. Turn Off the AC

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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.

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.

toughness is to meditate.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

strength?

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

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

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.

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Another great way to boost your mental
