How do I become mentally strong?

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

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.

It’s funny…

Can you tell me something about yourself?

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

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

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?)

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

What questions will be asked by the executive director of JP Morgan for 6 years of experience in Java? The technical rounds are already cleared.

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.

Mental

Why did Obito, a supposed "bad person," do good things for Kakashi?

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

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.

What life lesson did you learn the hard way?

Plain and simple.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Another great way to boost your mental

Is it possible for buyers to negotiate after an inspection if the appraisal is lower than expected?

Our lives are way too easy.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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).

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.

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

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.

Seriously.

What are some ways to cope with paranoid thoughts about being gangstalked or targeted individuals?

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

So how do you cultivate mental

Where are the big girls? This is the first time I've seen a bigger lady boy and that's awesome .. you should post more of them here, nothing wrong with a thick black lady

1. Cold Showers

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.

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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

as a Navy SEAL.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

2. One More Rep

strength.

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

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

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

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

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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.

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

strength over time.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

toughness.

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

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

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.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

toughness is to meditate.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

strength?

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

4. Meditate

strength isn’t rocket science.

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
