How do I become mentally strong?

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

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

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.

Seriously.

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

I want to have anal sex, but my wife refuses. What do I do?

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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.

2. One More Rep

Elden Ring Nightreign Patch Notes Include Promised Improvements For Solo Play - GameSpot

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.

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.

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.

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

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

1. Cold Showers

as a Navy SEAL.

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.

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

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

3. Turn Off the AC

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Try it… You’ll see.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

It’s funny…

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

4. 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?)

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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.

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Plain and simple.

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

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

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.

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

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

toughness.

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

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

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

toughness is to meditate.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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

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.

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

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 if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

So how do you cultivate mental

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

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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