How do I become mentally strong?

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

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

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

Why do all the stupid people think Donald J. Trump is stupid?

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Why do people always talk about Ohio as it's a dangerous city?

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.

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

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

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

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 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.

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.

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

My waist finally looks like how it did before I had kids but I didn’t lose weight. Why am I still 15 lbs from my starting weight?

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

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

1. Cold Showers

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

Is the Philippines PH a poor 3rd world or 4th world country forever and forever?

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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

Try it… You’ll see.

4. Meditate

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

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.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

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.

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.

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.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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.

toughness.

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

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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).

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

strength over 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.

strength?

Plain and simple.

as a Navy SEAL.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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?)

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.

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

Mental

So how do you cultivate mental

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

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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

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

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.

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