How do I become mentally strong?

1. Cold Showers

toughness is to meditate.

It’s funny…

What do you do when your family doesn’t care about you?

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.

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.

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.

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

What was your first trans experience like?

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

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.

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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

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

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.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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.

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

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

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.

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

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

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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.

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.

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

So how do you cultivate mental

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

Try it… You’ll see.

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

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

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

2. One More Rep

5. Give Up a Vice

The same way you get physically stronger…

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 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

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?

Seriously.
