How do I become mentally strong?

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

strength over time.

toughness is to meditate.

How does a single-payer healthcare system handle costs for surgeries, and what's the patient experience like compared to private insurance?

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

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.

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

Can you DM your uncle’s wife for a video?

5. Give Up a Vice

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.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

What are the differences between INFJ-T and INFJ A?

Try it… You’ll see.

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

So how do you cultivate 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.

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

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.

Beautiful European women were killed by inquisition but Russia was not Catholic. Is this the reason for a drastic difference explaining why Russian women are the prettiest?

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

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

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

If Russia needs the resources to fund the war in Ukraine, why doesn’t it throw open its doors to visa free western tourism? Enough people would be interested, & it would start to get some hard currency as €, CHF, £, SEK, $, JPY in the tills at shops.

Mental

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

Is there a possibility that we are living in a simulation and that there is a concept of rebirth?

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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.

Do you think cheating is that bad?

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

How do you identify a woman player?

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

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

Another great way to boost your mental

Why do people hate Nickelback so much? What makes them different from other popular bands like Linkin Park, Green Day, etc.? Is it just because they're Canadian or what?

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

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

toughness.

What is the correct way to say "you're welcome" in French? Is it "de rien" or something else, and if so, what is it exactly (including accent marks)?

as a Navy SEAL.

Seriously.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Joe Biden is not the best president we had. That would be John F. Kennedy. How is voting for Donald Trump any worse than voting for Joe Biden?

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

What is a narcissist grandmother like, with her grandchild?

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

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?)

What should I expect after a BBL surgery?

3. Turn Off the AC

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

Plain and simple.

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

1. Cold Showers

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

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

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.

strength isn’t rocket science.

4. Meditate

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

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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.

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).

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

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

strength.

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.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

2. One More Rep

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

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.

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.

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

strength?

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

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.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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.

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