How do I become mentally strong?

as a Navy SEAL.

It’s funny…

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

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.

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Try it… You’ll see.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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?)

Another great way to boost your mental

3. Turn Off the AC

Why do diabetic people sweat so much?

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

2. One More Rep

The same way you get physically stronger…

If Trump were to lose in 2024, would that be the end of his grip on the Republican Party?

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 .

Our lives are way too easy.

What is a common thought that keeps people up at night? Why do some people experience this?

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.

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.

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

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

What movies and TV shows portray realistic beauty standards?

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

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Why do wokes use words like "homophobes" when they don't know what that means? Do they realize that no one is afraid of them?

1. Cold Showers

Mental

toughness is to meditate.

Canadians went out of their way to help Americans stranded in Canada after 9.11.2001. Why did Canadians help so much the way they did? We read that Canadians don't particularly like Americans to begin with.

Plain and simple.

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

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

What are the easiest stores for shoplifting?

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.

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.

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

Why does TikTok allow porn stars in its platform? Isn't it aimed at teenagers?

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

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

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

Is it okay if I am not interested to talk to any of my relatives as I saw the real faces in my brother's marriage as none of them helped us rather were a kind of disappointment and were talking bad?

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.

strength?

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

4. Meditate

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

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

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

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.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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.

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

So how do you cultivate mental

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

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

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

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

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).

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 just better at handling the suck.

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

strength.

strength over time.

5. Give Up a Vice

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

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.

strength isn’t rocket science.

Seriously.
