How do I become mentally strong?

4. Meditate

Seriously.

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

What role did China play in the signing of the "Beijing Declaration" between Fatah and Hamas? What other information is worth noting for talks among Palestinian factions in Beijing?

2. One More Rep

toughness.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

Can you describe what it's like to live in a town known for Harley Davidson motorcycles?

as a Navy SEAL.

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.

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

Why do I (45, male) feel like I'm crushing on a girl (19, female)?

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

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

How was your JEE Mains 2024 April attempt?

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.

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.

I wore a Trump hat to a doctor’s visit. The doctor made a strange comment, he was obviously on the opposite political point that make me uncomfortable. What shall I do on my next visit?

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

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

Why did Amazon initially deny leave of absence to Alexis Scott-Windham, the Amazon worker who survived the New Orleans terrorist attack?

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.

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

It’s funny…

Do foreign workers face discrimination in Canada?

strength over time.

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

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

I have the power to talk to aliens through using telepathy. Why do people think I'm crazy?

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.

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.

toughness is to meditate.

How do you explain the involvement of a mainland Chinese visitor, her local relative, and a 65-year-old friend of the latter in the suspected money laundering case seized by Hong Kong police?

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Why did Sumire's summoning Nue act strangely in response to Kawaki's karma?

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Plain and simple.

Will my 9 year old face more difficulties than most girls her age if she’s an early bloomer? My daughter already needs regular B cup bras. The doctor says that my daughter will be even more developed by 11-12 years of age.

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

The same way you get physically stronger…

Is the Chinese economy currently collapsing? If not, what could potentially cause it to collapse?

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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

I’m 17 and looking for a girl. What do I do?

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

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

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

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).

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.

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

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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.

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

Another great way to boost your mental

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

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

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

3. Turn Off the AC

1. Cold Showers

strength?

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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

So how do you cultivate mental

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

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.

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.

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

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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?)

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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