How do I become mentally strong?

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

What would happen if the US government told the British government in no uncertain terms all RAF bases with USAF personnel now must follow the Constitution and us law, and if the UK tried to defy this, the US military would directly attack the UK?

Seriously.

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

toughness.

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

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

toughness is to meditate.

strength isn’t rocket science.

Is it possible to achieve spiritual enlightenment while being in a romantic relationship?

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.

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 it… You’ll see.

Recently, I cleared my JP Morgan coding round. Next, I received mail for a video interview. What kind of questions are asked in this round? How do I prepare myself?

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.

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

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

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

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

Have you been with a stranger yet?

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

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

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

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Are evolutionists giving evolution a bad name by claiming humans started off as shrews?

4. Meditate

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

My landlord just sold the house I’m renting from her. She included all fixtures, that I bought and installed. Does she have this right?

So how do you cultivate mental

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?)

1. Cold Showers

Would you let your partner cheat on you every now and again?

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

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

Our lives are way too easy.

Why do I sweat so much at the gym?

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

It’s funny…

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.

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.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

The same way you get physically stronger…

3. Turn Off the AC

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

5. Give Up a Vice

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

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

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.

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).

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

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.

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.

Another great way to boost your mental
