How do I become mentally strong?

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Why do some people feel down in summer, specifically in July and August? What could be the reasons behind this feeling of sadness during those months only?

Mental

strength.

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

Do you feel uncomfortable when you come across cross dressers?

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

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

So how do you cultivate mental

Is it true that most women like alpha males?

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

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Why is America so fucked up?

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.

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

5. Give Up a Vice

How do we greet in German, French, Spanish, and Italian?

3. Turn Off the AC

One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build 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.

Why doesn't California have the tools, people, means to put out these fires even though they know there will be fires every year?

4. Meditate

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.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

My cantankerous beagle is very badly behaved at the dog park and always starts barking at the other dogs. Would pepper spray be an effective method to correct his inappropriate behavior?

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

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

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

Were the 1980s as uptight and prudish as movies and TV shows make them out to be? When I think of 80s culture, I think about a very "icky" judgmental yuppie status quo time period.

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Why isn't the FBI raiding all Silicon Valley companies like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, TikTok, Reddit, Google, Yahoo, YouTube, Disqus, Wikipedia for censoring the World through their Ban cartel violating the constitution freespeech laws?

Try it… You’ll see.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

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?)

I'm a 27 year old male currently but I am going through going through gender dysphoria. Why do some transgender people (specifically transgender women since I see that the most) call themselves trannies or shemales? Aren't those offensive words?

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

strength?

What is the worst name in Tolkien’s legendarium (meaning and look)?

Plain and simple.

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

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’s something you did a lot as a kid that you don’t miss now that you’re an adult?

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).

It’s funny…

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.

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

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.

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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

Our lives are way too easy.

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Seriously.

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.

strength over time.

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.

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

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.

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.

1. Cold Showers

2. One More Rep

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

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

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

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.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

toughness is to meditate.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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

The same way you get physically stronger…
