How do I become mentally strong?

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?)

Seriously.

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.

I can’t get any girl I want, but I can just get some not my type of girls, so I feel I’m so ugly. What should I do?

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

What do you remember that 95% of us have forgotten?

1. Cold Showers

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

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

Is there a possibility that we are living in a simulation and that there is a concept of rebirth?

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

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.

Does the potential of making Star Wars R-rated movies depend on whether Star Wars have stories that is too dark for PG 13 in Disney?

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

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

Do you like high heels?

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

Where are the big girls? This is the first time I've seen a bigger lady boy and that's awesome .. you should post more of them here, nothing wrong with a thick black lady

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

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

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

If everyone hates censorship so much, why do those “censorship-free” alternative social media sites always fail?

5. Give Up a Vice

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

Why can't NASA just bite the bullet and launch a plainly simple mission, audited by flat earther peers start to finish that definitively proves to even the smallest minds that the earth is an oblong spheroid, and not flat?

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

Is there a stereotype that South Indians are physically strong and muscular compared to other regions of India?

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.

Plain and simple.

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.

If you believe in God, do you think God can save you from cancer?

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

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

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

strength.

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

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.

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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

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

toughness.

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

It’s funny…

Mental

4. Meditate

strength isn’t rocket science.

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.

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

strength?

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

strength over time.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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).

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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

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

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.

as a Navy SEAL.

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

Another great way to boost your mental

2. One More Rep

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.

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.

So how do you cultivate mental

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

toughness is to meditate.

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