How do I become mentally strong?

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

Is it accurate to say that while Donald Trump has "America First" policy, the Democratic Party has "Other nations first" policy?

Another great way to boost your mental

Our lives are way too easy.

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.

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

What was the most challenging shift you experienced as an ER physician? Can you describe the details and reasons behind it?

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

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

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.

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.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Sorry, Trump supporters, but eventually it will have to be asked: Why didn't Trump do as well in his first term as he is doing NOW?

One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental

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

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

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

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

Did you ever receive genuine remarks from a medium regarding your deceased relative with information that the medium could never normally know?

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Why did the Soviet Jews hate the Soviet Union?

Plain and simple.

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.

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

as a Navy SEAL.

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 are seriously wanting to give up a vice (like smoking or drinking), you’ll want to throw away anything that reminds you of it.

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?)

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.

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.

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

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

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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…

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

1. Cold Showers

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

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.

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.

Seriously.

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).

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

2. One More Rep

5. Give Up a Vice

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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

toughness is to meditate.

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.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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

So how do you cultivate mental
