How do I become mentally strong?

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

Mental

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

Why aren't you a Trump supporter?

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

Plain and simple.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Are evolutionists giving evolution a bad name by claiming humans started off as shrews?

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

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

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

Why aren't U.S. prisons more like Marine Corps boot camp, were every second of the day there are mandatory activities so that at night everyone is so tired they go to sleep until wakeup at 5:30 am? Would this make prisons safer for all?

It’s funny…

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

toughness is to meditate.

How would you advertise if you wanted to be a "tour guide" who can take you through the dark web while warning you what not to look at and not to click on?

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

Why did Mark Lane harass Helen Markham during an illegally recorded telephone conversation to misidentify Lee Harvey Oswald who she witnessed as the shooter of Tippit?

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

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?)

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.

Is the Donald Trump Bible any different from a regular Bible? Has Trump altered its contents?

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.

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.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Where can Ukrainians go if they cannot have shelter and heating this winter?

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

Another great way to boost your mental

strength over time.

How do I stop someone from forcing/pestering me to become gay/bisexual when I already want to be straight?

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

New study predicts when the universe will end, scientists claim it is sooner than expected - Earth.com

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.

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.

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.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

Can I use ChatGPT to get chapter ideas? I’ll be writing it with my own words but I just get writer’s block when it comes to what to write?

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

toughness.

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.

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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.

Try it… You’ll see.

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

1. Cold Showers

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

as a Navy SEAL.

strength.

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.

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

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.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test 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.

So how do you cultivate mental

strength?

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

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

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

Our lives are way too easy.

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

3. Turn Off the AC

4. Meditate

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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

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.

Seriously.

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).

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
