How do I become mentally strong?

toughness.

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.

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.

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.

It’s funny…

Seriously.

What do you think of the controls that will be set up over information flows at Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs' missions?

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

5. Give Up a Vice

strength?

What does it mean when I have a dream where my friend died? I had this dream last night where one of my friends died in a shootout and I woke up crying.

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

Try it… You’ll see.

3. Turn Off the AC

Is Europe willing to risk losing its alliance with the United States, if they choose to continue the war in Ukraine?

Plain and simple.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Why do I feel so lazy every time I get into my room?

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.

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

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

1. Cold Showers

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

What happened to the American Russell Bentley from Texas that was fighting for the pro-Russian commies?

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

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

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

Can you list every album you have ever listened to?

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

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.

Why do Republicans only believe in two genders? How do they explain Caitlin Jenner and George Santos?

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.

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.

Why do people with trauma easily recognize other people with trauma through eye contact?

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

What is treasury?

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’m just better at handling the suck.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

What disgusts you?

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.

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.

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

Why do females hate MGTOW so much?

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

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

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

Delta Force selection is originally based on SAS selection, so why is there no brutal jungle phase for Delta Force? It seems like it's based only on the Brecon Beacons section.

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.

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

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

The International Boxing Association said that Khelif and Lin competing in Paris Olympics were disqualified from the tournament for testing positive for XY chromosomes which give an unfair advantage in the women’s division. What do you think?

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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 over time.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

2. One More Rep

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.

toughness is to meditate.

Another great way to boost your mental

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

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

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).

4. Meditate

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

So how do you cultivate mental

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

strength.

Our lives are way too easy.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Start with only 12–24 hours.
