How do I become mentally strong?

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Start with only 12–24 hours.

One day, I happened to walk past where my crush was with friends. Then all of a sudden they start laughing, and someone maybe him, goes "freaking (my name) with her freaking hair!" Can anyone offer insights into this? We're in middle school.

Try it… You’ll see.

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?)

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.

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.

Seriously.

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.

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.

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

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.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Can it be true that people know your name, not your story, they’ve heard what you’ve done, but not what you’ve been through, so take their opinions of you with a grain of salt?

So how do you cultivate 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.

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.

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).

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

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.

It’s funny…

toughness is to meditate.

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

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

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

4. Meditate

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

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

1. Cold Showers

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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

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

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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.

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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.

2. One More Rep

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

5. Give Up a Vice

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Plain and simple.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

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.

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