How do I become mentally strong?

Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
strength over 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).
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
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.
At what stage in your life did you realize, "No, I can't do this any more" and walk out? Why?
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.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
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.
What happened to your school bully?
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…
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
How can someone effectively handle a targeted individual?
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?)
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test 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.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Why would my husband cheat on me with an ugly fat woman?
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.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
Try it… You’ll see.
What topics are okay with you in comics and what topics should be totally off the table?
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build 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.

So how do you cultivate mental
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every 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.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
strength isn’t rocket science.
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
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.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
strength?
Plain and simple.
Mental
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
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.
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.
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.
4. Meditate
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
It’s funny…
3. Turn Off the AC
7. Go Through Hell Week
5. Give Up a Vice
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
as a Navy SEAL.
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.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
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.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
1. Cold Showers
Seriously.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
Our lives are way too easy.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.

Another great way to boost your mental
I’m just better at handling the suck.
