How do I become mentally strong?

Seriously.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

7. Go Through Hell Week

Mental

What's an underrated/unknown novel or series that you think deserves more attention?

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.

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

What do you think of a parent telling their adult child to “keep their personal life to themselves” in relation to talking to them? No reason they should say that it was mean what should I do?

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

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

Why is the internet so restrictive? Why is it impossible to find a place where you can express yourself fully?

Another great way to boost your mental

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.

Will you share your wife? Can she take both of us at the same time?

It’s funny…

1. Cold Showers

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

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 and you’ll be amazed by the results.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

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

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.

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

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

My ex moved on so fast. How can I overcome the pain?

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

Why does an older married man turn bisexual?

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

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

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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

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

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

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).

So how do you cultivate mental

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

2. One More Rep

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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.

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

4. Meditate

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

5. Give Up a Vice

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

as a Navy SEAL.

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.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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?)

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Our lives are way too easy.

3. Turn Off the AC

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

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