How do I become mentally strong?

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

4. Meditate

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 do people keep complaining about how some people copy and paste the question before answering it? To me, it's very disturbing and makes me want to block and mute them as annoying whiners.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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

Seriously.

Experts say you should deadhead bee balm for blooms all summer long – here’s when and how to do it - Homes and Gardens

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

When a dog smells another dog’s poo or wee, do they then remember that scent for when they smell it again, or even further know which dog they are smelling if they know the dog?

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

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.

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

Why is it after eating almonds when I’m occupied, I don’t feel mild itch, but as soon as I have nothing to do, I feel mildly itchy?

3. Turn Off the AC

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

What is your biggest mistake or regret?

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

7. Go Through Hell Week

So how do you cultivate mental

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

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.

strength over time.

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.

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

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

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.

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

It’s funny…

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Plain and simple.

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.
