strength isn’t rocket science.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
What is the most offensive thing someone has ever asked you?
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Mental
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.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
2. One More Rep
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.
4. Meditate
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.
Why do liberals think it is okay to steal votes while the rest of us obey the law(s)?
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
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 this off by doing it for one day.
Why is it rare for someone to despise both the Democrats and Republicans?
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
Our lives are way too easy.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
Why don't I get sleep at nights?
The same way you get physically stronger…
Try it… You’ll see.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
What makes someone feel "rich enough" in different societies?
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.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
Another great way to boost your mental
What should I do to stop being angered easily?
1. Cold Showers
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
Democrats be honest, how many of you were wishing that Musk rescue space flight blew up?
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
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.
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).
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.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Seriously.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
as a Navy SEAL.
Plain and simple.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
strength?
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
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.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
So how do you cultivate mental
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
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.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.

toughness by turning the AC off.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
It’s funny…
7. Go Through Hell Week
3. Turn Off the AC
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
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
strength over time.
toughness.
toughness is to meditate.
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?)
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.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
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.
5. Give Up a Vice
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 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.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
