How do I become mentally strong?

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

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

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

Is it common for people to fall in love with someone else while still married? If so, why do they choose to stay in their marriage?

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Plain and simple.

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

Does the pro-choice movement realise that all the money used to subside abortions can be used to subsidize daycare and other financial support for single mothers with unplanned pregnancies?

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.

1. Cold Showers

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

Has Great Britain ever been considered a "hyper-power" like the United States or Russia are currently considered? If not, why?

Start with only 12–24 hours.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Who would win in this boxing matchup between these two, Dillian Whyte or Samuel Peter?

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

Why do the Republican city officials at Springfield Ohio continue to deny that immigrants are eating pets to sabotage the Trump campaign, even though immigrant pet-eating is now widely believed to be true?

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.

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

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.

How is it, in the USA, a country with 334 million people, the choice of President comes down to two aged men, one of whom is a liar as well as a criminal, one who appears to be on his way to dementia. Surely a democratic country can put up better?

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

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

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

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

Why did my 2001 4.6 liter Mustang GT V8 make "only" 260 HP while today's base Dodge 3.6 liter V6 churns out almost 300 HP? Both benefit from fuel injection and ECUs.

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

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

It’s funny…

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

Why did the Soviet Jews hate the Soviet Union?

toughness is to meditate.

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

Why are the democrats keep insisting that there are more than two genders?

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

As a friend of Megan's who also watches Suits, would you advise her not to return to the show in order to protect her character's reputation?

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

2. One More Rep

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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).

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

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.

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.

strength?

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

strength isn’t rocket science.

7. Go Through Hell Week

So how do you cultivate mental

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

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

strength over time.

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

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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.

Mental

Try it… You’ll see.

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?)

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
