How do I become mentally strong?

And it’s exactly how 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.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

as a Navy SEAL.

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 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.

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

What made you feel disgusted today?

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

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

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

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

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

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.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Why do I feel worthless most of the time?

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.

4. Meditate

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

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

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

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

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

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.

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

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).

Start with only 12–24 hours.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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?)

1. Cold Showers

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

strength.

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

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

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