How do I become mentally strong?

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

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

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

What is your analysis of Walter White from Breaking Bad?

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.

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.

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

How do you fight the push and pull (manipulation) tactic if you want to win him?

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

toughness.

What were my 10 favorite great rock albums that were either forgotten or hardly known by the rock community at large during 1965-‘75?

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?)

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

Why do men like BBW? What is the attraction?

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

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.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Is it socially acceptable for individuals to wear clothing typically associated with the opposite gender? What are some reasons for or against this practice?

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).

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 21 pushups instead of 20.

Is there such a thing as "left wing fascism"? If not, what is an example of a political ideology that is often mistakenly labeled as "left wing fascism"?

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

2. One More Rep

What was your best revenge story?

Seriously.

Mental

3. Turn Off the AC

What is the most ridiculous obviously false verse in the Bible?

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

What is your opinion on The Beatles' impact on modern popular music? Are there any other bands with similar impacts on their genre(s)? Why them and not others?

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

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.

Plain and simple.

What would explain Trump blaming Ukraine for starting the war with Russia?

strength.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

What frustrates you the most?

strength isn’t rocket science.

Another great way to boost your mental

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

Google, Scale AI's largest customer, plans split after Meta deal, sources say - CNBC

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

7. Go Through Hell Week

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.

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

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

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

4. Meditate

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

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

Our lives are way too easy.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

as a Navy SEAL.

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

1. Cold Showers

It’s funny…

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

strength over time.

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

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

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.

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

strength?

So how do you cultivate mental

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.

toughness is to meditate.

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

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.

Try it… You’ll see.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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.

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