How do I become mentally strong?

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
7. Go Through Hell Week
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.
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.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
How do you feel about Donald Trump signing an executive order that says there are only two genders?
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
4. Meditate
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
Is the 4B movement's aggressiveness against men for seeing women as mantelpieces valid?
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 and you’ll be amazed by the results.
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 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 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.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

I’m just better at handling the suck.
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.
1. Cold Showers
Why am I so afraid that gun owners have set traps to kill me outside my house or my car?
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
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.
Our lives are way too easy.
How do you find out who your handler is as a targeted individual?
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
toughness by turning the AC off.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
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.
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).
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.

Another great way to boost your mental
2. One More Rep
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
What are you struggling with in your life? What would you like to have instead?
toughness is to wake up earlier.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
What is your craziest/worst Halloween story?
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.
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.
Why after 50 years of being straight do I constantly desire to suck cock?
strength over time.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
Seriously.
What is your review of House of the Dragon Season 2 finale, Episode 8?
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.
The same way you get physically stronger…
It’s funny…
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
So how do you cultivate mental
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
toughness.
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?)
Start this off by doing it for one day.
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.
5. Give Up a Vice
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.

Mental
as a Navy SEAL.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Plain and simple.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
strength isn’t rocket science.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
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
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
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.
