How do I become mentally strong?

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

1. Cold Showers

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

How often do you watch the news on TV?

Start with only 12–24 hours.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Seriously.

Another great way to boost your mental

My ex got into a relationship within 2 weeks after a breakup. What should I do?

strength over time.

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.

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.

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 of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

Why are we explaining today’s “climate change” as driven by human related “green house” gasses when natural “global warming” pushed sea level up to the “shores” of Topeka with no human contribution or even presence? Is Occam’s Rasor applied?

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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.

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

Why cant I sleep on my side after getting my covid vaccine? I just got the shot and I’ve been overstimulated from not being able to sleep, my arm is very sore and it hurts so much to move and I just want to sleep but it hurts if I lay on either side

toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.

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.

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.

Why do I feel so tired all the time even after a good night’s sleep?

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

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

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

Why is the covert narcissist actively avoiding me when they see me everyday?

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.

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.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

2. One More Rep

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

4. Meditate

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

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

Try it… You’ll see.

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

5. Give Up a Vice

toughness is to meditate.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

So how do you cultivate mental

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.

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Mental

7. Go Through Hell Week

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.

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

3. Turn Off the AC

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

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.

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

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.

Plain and simple.

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

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

strength?

toughness.

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

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

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

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

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

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

strength.

as a Navy SEAL.

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.

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