How do I become mentally strong?

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

My boyfriend has a major problem/addiction with watching porn, nude/sex scenes on movies and shows, watching hot young girls on tiktok, Instagram, Twitter, and onlyfans. He hides it and lies about it. Should I be concerned with him cheating? What do?

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.

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

Are the seasons in Ireland different from those in Scotland, England, and Wales? Or are they just milder versions of each other?

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

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

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

1. Cold Showers

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

toughness.

If a guy is attracting a bunch of what he believes to be "ugly" women, is he crushing the dating game?

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.

Why are we explaining today’s “climate change” as driven by human related “green house” gasses when natural “global warming” pushed sea level up to the “shores” of Topeka with no human contribution or even presence? Is Occam’s Rasor applied?

Try it… You’ll see.

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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.

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

Another great way to boost your mental

5. Give Up a Vice

Why do untreated borderlines always blame their partners when they actually think they are normal?

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

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

It’s funny…

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

4. Meditate

as a Navy SEAL.

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

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

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

strength.

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.

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.

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.

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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 this off by doing it for one day.

Seriously.

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

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

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

strength?

Plain and simple.

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.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

2. One More Rep

So how do you cultivate 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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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