How do I become mentally strong?

strength over time.

1. Cold Showers

toughness is to meditate.

How can you maintain self-control?

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

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

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).

Do most narcissists have good intentions as long as you are under their control?

It’s funny…

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Why was Super Buu so afraid of having Fat Buu torn out and becoming Kid Buu if he was going to destroy the Earth even before his transformation?

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Why do black people prefer thick, curvy women?

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.

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.

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

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

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

3. Turn Off the AC

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

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.

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

5. Give Up a Vice

Is it just me, or do we all hate Sasuke from Naruto?

Seriously.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

2. One More Rep

Why do some young mothers trick a guy into believing that they're pregnant and it's their child when years later they find out that it's not even theirs should he still pay child support or not?

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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.

What was the worst decision you ever did?

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

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

So how do you cultivate mental

As an inmate did you have to live alongside a bully for your whole sentence?

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.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

strength isn’t rocket science.

Why didn't my ex fight for our relationship? He gave up so easily.

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.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

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.

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

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

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

Our lives are way too easy.

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

Plain and simple.

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.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Try it… You’ll see.

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

toughness.

as a Navy SEAL.

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

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.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

toughness by turning the AC off.

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 if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental

Another great way to boost your mental

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

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

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.

4. Meditate

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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

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.

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
