How do I become mentally strong?

as a Navy SEAL.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Is Florida now unsurvivable because it's an oven due to climate change? It's 11:48 am on May 30th and the heat index in SoFla is 100. I can see it going up to over 130 by July.

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

Plain and simple.

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

What do you think of the 2 female 18 and 19 year-old German tourists, detained in Honolulu, strip-searched, put in green jumpsuits, placed in a holding cell and the next day deported, for the terrible crime of not pre-booking a hotel for their trip?

2. One More Rep

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

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

What is the problem between Turkey and Greece?

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

Why are most people broke?

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

What explanations do flat earthers have for the shape of our planet? If they do not have any, why should their opinions on this topic be considered credible?

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

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?)

strength isn’t rocket science.

Why did my ex move on so quickly?

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

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

Seriously.

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.

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Joe Biden is not the best president we had. That would be John F. Kennedy. How is voting for Donald Trump any worse than voting for Joe Biden?

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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.

There is any scientific evidence that we live in a sphere. Why do others say that we lives in a flat Earth but there is no evidence that they have proven the existence of a flat earth?

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

strength?

Why do a bra and panties have to match?

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.

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

It’s funny…

toughness.

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

How would you spank me if I had been sent home from a school camp because of my poor behavior?

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

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

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).

3. Turn Off the AC

So how do you cultivate mental

toughness is to meditate.

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

strength.

strength over time.

5. Give Up a Vice

Another great way to boost your mental

4. Meditate

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

7. Go Through Hell Week

Our lives are way too easy.

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

1. Cold Showers

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

Mental

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

Try it… You’ll see.
