How do I become mentally strong?

1. Cold Showers

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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.

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.

Can you give an example of a documentary where the person telling the story believed it to be true, but it turned out to be false?

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

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

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 11 pullups instead of 10.

Try it… You’ll see.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

Why does it itch on my vulva, uterus, and sides of my vagina, but it doesn't itch inside the vagina?

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

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.

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

One of the HARDEST thing you can do to 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.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Seriously.

2. One More Rep

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Our lives are way too easy.

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Plain and simple.

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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.

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

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

Another great way to boost your mental

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

It’s funny…

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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

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

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).

So how do you cultivate mental
