How do I become mentally strong?

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

It’s funny…

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

It is day 42 of the Trump administration. Is the war in Ukraine over? Is inflation solved? Are groceries cheaper?

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

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

Mental

What is your review of The Office (U.S. TV series)?

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Plain and simple.

7. Go Through Hell Week

What explanations do flat earthers have for the shape of our planet? If they do not have any, why should their opinions on this topic be considered credible?

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

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.

Riddle: How do budget cuts, DEI hires, and empty reservoirs, turn the bluest, most Democrat city Red?

1. Cold Showers

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.

What is your daily motivation and does it work?

toughness is to meditate.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

My boyfriend always verbally abuse me and makes me cry. If I try to tell him how hurt I was, he says to me he loves me and can't hurt me but always abuse me. Why?

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.

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?)

3. Turn Off the AC

Why is the US going after Canada after all? What is the reason for all this hostility?

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.

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

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

Why are so many people anti-Trump? People didn't like Obama either, but he was the president, so people didn't do this. What makes Trump different?

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

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Is there any truth to the claim that Kamala Harris got where she is by sleeping around, or is that just typical conservative bigotry?

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

5. Give Up a Vice

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

Why are some people afraid of monsters?

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

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

strength over time.

How do you perform a lap dance for your boyfriend or husband?

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

Do you know of a female masseuse that does door-to-door service in Bangalore?

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test 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.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

Why do I want to suck cock tonight?

toughness is to wake up earlier.

4. Meditate

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).

Israel says Iran was racing toward a bomb. US intelligence says it was years away - CNN

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

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.

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

What’s the worst thing you caught anyone in your family doing?

toughness.

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.

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

So how do you cultivate mental

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

strength.

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

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.

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

as a Navy SEAL.

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.

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

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

Another great way to boost your mental

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

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

Try it… You’ll see.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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

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

strength?

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.

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.

strength isn’t rocket science.

Our lives are way too easy.

2. One More Rep

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
