How do I become mentally strong?

as a Navy SEAL.

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

Plain and simple.

Is a narcissist capable of understanding the damage and the hurt that they have caused in your relationship?

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

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?)

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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

What does it mean when you dream that your mother died?

The same way you get physically stronger…

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 of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental

Has a conversation with someone who holds opposing political views ever caused you to change your own beliefs?

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.

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

What if you were the only and last person left on Earth. How will you survive and what would you do with your life?

1. Cold Showers

toughness is to wake up earlier.

So how do you cultivate mental

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

strength?

My stepmother has banned me from the family. Can she legally keep me from going to my father's funeral?

4. Meditate

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

2. One More Rep

Did Trump show us once again that he is a master debater?

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

Mental

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

Women like what they hear while men like what they see, it that true?

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Try it… You’ll see.

What is your opinion about homosexuality? Do you think that it is by nature or a choice?

It’s funny…

strength.

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.

Why can't the US government force this new deep seek to not operate in the USA for security reasons? People's personal information will be available to China like TikTok was.

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.

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.

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

What happens if someone fills up their car at the pump but leaves without paying? How is this situation typically handled?

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Is it okay or problematic to be both Black and gay in society in the 21st century?

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

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Why are you a Muslim? Why is it Islam for you and not something else?

7. Go Through Hell Week

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

5. Give Up a Vice

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

3. Turn Off the AC

strength over time.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

toughness is to meditate.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

Seriously.

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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.

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.

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

toughness.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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).

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.
