How do I become mentally strong?

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

3. Turn Off the AC

If the Red Pill is supposed to be so bad, why are so many young men buying into it? What about Red Pill makes it appealing to them?

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.

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Why are there no fossils for the 'missing link' that connects our ancestors with other species? Is this a misconception or is there another explanation?

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

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

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.

strength.

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

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

Would you date/marry a guy younger than you? If no, why not?

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 how do you cultivate mental

1. Cold Showers

How do people move on so quickly? I’m still sprung over someone I was dating and he found someone else so fast. I feel hurt because I’m still head over heels over him while he’s out enjoying his life with someone new

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

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

5. Give Up a Vice

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.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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).

Are vampires real?

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

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

toughness is to meditate.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

My stepdaughter’s mom tells her I’m not a real dance teacher, but my stepdaughter has seen me in action. Why does she still question my abilities?

4. Meditate

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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?)

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

It’s funny…

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

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.

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

Our lives are way too easy.

strength?

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

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.

2. One More Rep

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

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.

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

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.

Plain and simple.

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

Seriously.
