How do I become mentally strong?

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

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

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

Do you have any attributes quirks sensitivities abilities etc that you've come to learn most people don't experience? E.g. dream with subtext or experience de ja vu regularly or know you experience life very differently from those around you etc?

Seriously.

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

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

Why do Democrats keep calling Patriots/President Trump supporters "sore losers"? Do they purposefully ignore the massive fraud that took place, or genuinely think that there was zero fraud?

toughness.

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.

4. Meditate

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

What song are you listening to right now? What does it mean to you?

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.

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

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

Why is Elon Musk so ugly?

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

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.

Why can't they repair the damage caused by Elon Musk renaming Twitter to X?

strength isn’t rocket science.

1. Cold Showers

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

What does it mean when a guy says he's afraid of falling for someone else after going through heartbreaks?

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.

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

Our lives are way too easy.

How did you respond to, "Why do you love me"?

strength over time.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

What is price of the "liberal celebrities" e.g. Bill Maher, Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart, Trevor Noah, Jimmy Kimmel, Desi Lydic etc. to join the great MAGA movement like Stephen Colbert who wanted to European ambassadorship to turn back on "the Left"?

3. Turn Off the AC

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

Why do people mourn when their leaders lose elections? Is it common for people to cry over events that are out of their control?

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.

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

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

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

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

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).

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.

toughness is to meditate.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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

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

2. One More Rep

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

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

Another great way to boost your mental

as a Navy SEAL.

7. Go Through Hell Week

Mental

Plain and simple.

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?)

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.

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

5. Give Up a Vice

strength.

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 this off by doing it for one day.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

Try it… You’ll see.

strength?

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.

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

So how do you cultivate mental

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 is to wake up earlier.

It’s funny…

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.

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

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