How do I become mentally strong?

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?)

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.

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

What happens when you have paranoid schizophrenia?

1. Cold Showers

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

Why won't my mom let me come home if I'm homeless?

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.

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

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

Seriously.

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

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.

Why have cell phones, the internet, and reality TV turned the world into a toilet, as this has not advanced us in any way?

It’s funny…

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

One day, I happened to walk past where my crush was with friends. Then all of a sudden they start laughing, and someone maybe him, goes "freaking (my name) with her freaking hair!" Can anyone offer insights into this? We're in middle school.

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

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

Try it… You’ll see.

What are your controversial and hot takes on Naruto?

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.

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

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

5. Give Up a Vice

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).

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

strength over time.

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

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.

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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.

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

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

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.

So how do you cultivate mental

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.
