How do I become mentally strong?

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

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

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

as a Navy SEAL.

What is the moral stance on lying? Can you provide examples of when it is appropriate or inappropriate to lie? Does the Bible address this issue?

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.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Seriously.

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.

Why don't I get sleep at nights?

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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.

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

Which country do you recommend for me to live in, England, the USA, Italy, Spanish, or Austria?

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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

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

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

I’d challenge you to stretch 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?)

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

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

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

strength.

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.

Mental

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

So how do you cultivate mental

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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).

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

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

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

Plain and simple.

1. Cold Showers

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

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

5. Give Up a Vice

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

3. Turn Off the AC

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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?

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.

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

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.

Our lives are way too easy.

4. Meditate

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
