How do I become mentally strong?

4. Meditate

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

Why am I so unproductive when it's a holiday the next day?

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.

Try it… You’ll see.

So how do you cultivate mental

Why do men like BBW? What is the attraction?

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.

It’s funny…

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

I'm looking for an answer from people who consider themselves "Gender Critical", or transphobic, or TERFs, and my question is this - Why would you refuse to use the pronouns someone wants? What does it cost you? Where's the harm?

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

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

Why do I randomly start sweating a lot in public (while waiting in line, in a new class, etc.) then start sweating more because I’m embarrassed that I’m sweating so much? Is this social anxiety?

Our lives are way too easy.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

How do you confront your own family for not inviting you or leaving you out of things?

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.

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

Do older women know what they want?

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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.

For those who were actually old enough to have experienced the 1970s and not for those who were born in the 70s. What were the pros and cons of that era?

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.

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).

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

Were you ever in love with your teacher?

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

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.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

7. Go Through Hell Week

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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.

Seriously.

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.

toughness is to meditate.

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

2. One More Rep

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.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

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

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

strength?

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

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

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

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.
