How do I become mentally strong?

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

What is it like to have an insanely beautiful girlfriend?

3. Turn Off the AC

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

What’s the craziest thing you’ve heard pretending to be asleep?

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.

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

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

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?

toughness.

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.

How can I move on from my ex?

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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.

Is it possible for humans to determine their past life as an animal? Is there a scientific method to prove this?

strength.

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.

7. Go Through Hell Week

What should a young woman do to control sagging breasts?

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test 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.

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

How do you say "I don't speak Italian yet, but I hope to speak it well one day. It would be a pleasure to learn Italian with you. Would you like to teach me Italian?" in Italian?

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).

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

I always feel very tired after I do some exercises, even after a night's sleep. What's the problem?

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

Another great way to boost your mental

1. Cold Showers

Can bosses get fired for being too hard on employees?

toughness by turning the AC off.

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.

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

Do women wear undies under leggings?

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.

Try it… You’ll see.

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

Why do some women squirt and some don't?

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

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

What started the whole idea of femboys? What is the whole point of a femboy? Did a boy or a man just randomly start dressing or acting feminine or something?

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

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.

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

In what ways does Bollywood represent India's culture to the rest of the world through movies, songs, and dance? Is this representation accurate?

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

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.

It’s funny…

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

5. Give Up a Vice

strength over time.

toughness is to meditate.

2. One More Rep

4. Meditate

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

as a Navy SEAL.

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

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

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

So how do you cultivate mental

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

Plain and simple.

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?)

Seriously.

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

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

Mental

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.

strength?

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.
