How do I become mentally strong?

toughness is to meditate.

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

It seems that I am cursed with bad luck. How do I break such a curse?

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

strength over time.

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?)

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

4. Meditate

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

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

How does someone start doing urban exploration?

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.

So how do you cultivate mental

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

What is your favorite underrated movie and why? What makes it underrated? How did you find it?

strength isn’t rocket science.

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).

2. One More Rep

Why do most men who date ugly women brag like it's some big accomplishment, when any guy can pull an ugly woman?

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

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.

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.

What is your daily motivation and does it work?

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

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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

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

1. Cold Showers

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.

Why do guys look up TikTok girls instead of porn? My boyfriend of two years, looks up big boobs on TikTok. He has never once cheated on me, not on social media or IRL. He claims it’s to “get off real quick if I’m not home.”

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

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.

What is the most popular song that includes the word "you"? Are there any other songs that use "you" multiple times?

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

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

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

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.

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

Our lives are way too easy.

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.

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

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

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

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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.

It’s funny…

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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.

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

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

Plain and simple.

3. Turn Off the AC

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

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

strength?

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

Try it… You’ll see.

Another great way to boost your mental

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

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