How do I become mentally strong?

Seriously.

Our lives are way too easy.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

What was your first gay male experience?

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

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).

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.

Why is my ping so high in 1 Roblox game but not the other ones? I am also not laggy in my own private server. What is happening?

Plain and simple.

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

Overthinking is killing me day-by-day. What should I do?

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.

strength over time.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

4. Meditate

Why do I feel so down and not happy anymore? I also feel really tired and non-motivated. Is that normal for someone to feel that way?

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

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

What melts your heart every time without fail?

It’s funny…

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

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

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

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

How common are novels, animes, or mangas, that are both coming of age and thriller? What do you think of these kinds of stories? What are some examples?

Try it… You’ll see.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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.

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

Do interviewers discriminate against a candidate if he or she is overweight (assuming physical fitness is NOT part of the job requirements)?

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

Another great way to boost your mental

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?

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

Is it common for Americans to feel "trapped" due to the size and distance of their country from other countries/continents? Is this feeling an exaggeration or a reality?

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

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

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

My waist finally looks like how it did before I had kids but I didn’t lose weight. Why am I still 15 lbs from my starting weight?

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

So how do you cultivate 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

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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.

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

2. One More Rep

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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.

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.

toughness is to meditate.

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

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.

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

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.

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