How do I become mentally strong?

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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.

Is Elon Musk an actual genius, or is he surrounded by people smarter than him?

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.

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

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

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?)

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

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

2. One More Rep

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

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

1. Cold Showers

When was the first time your wife had beastiality?

Another great way to boost your mental

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.

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

Do they have internet in hell? Most people on here seem like damned souls or demons.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch 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.

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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.

Try it… You’ll see.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

toughness is to meditate.

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

Seriously.

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.

4. Meditate

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

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.

It’s funny…

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

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.

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

strength over time.

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

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.

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

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

Our lives are way too easy.

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.

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).

Plain and simple.
