How do I become mentally strong?

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

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.

3. Turn Off the AC

Trump is going to target known criminals in the country illegally for deportation. The Democrats have vowed to fight him every step of the way. Don't they understand this is one of the issues that cost them the white house, the house and senate?

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Why don’t the little sugar breeches gun owners understand that life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows?

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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.

strength isn’t rocket science.

Why do I have an itch in my labia, white gooey and thick discharge which doesn't have a smell but my vagina does sometimes and both me and my partner do not have STDs, what is it?

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

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

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

How mentally ill are Republicans who think Trump is mentally sane? He literally said immigrants eat pets.

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

5. Give Up a Vice

Plain and simple.

How do I become a Buddhist, and can someone explain Buddhism to me?

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

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

Seriously.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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.

Why would the state lie about the Earth's shape? We know that it's flat, but why do they lie and tell us that it is a sphere?

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

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.

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

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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.

What is the funniest joke you've been told that you still think about to this day?

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.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

What are some downsides to living in Newfoundland and Labrador (besides the weather)?

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).

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.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

strength?

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

4. Meditate

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.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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?)

Try it… You’ll see.

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

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.

2. One More Rep

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
