How do I become mentally strong?

as a Navy SEAL.

toughness by turning the AC off.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

Could humans be selectively bred, like dogs, to create 2 subspecies that can no longer have offspring? Do I not understand selective breeding properly? Im not worried about the moral implications, just the science please.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

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 do you think of Hegseth calling The Atlantic journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, "a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who has made a profession of peddling hoaxes” after team Trump texted him their top-secret war plans on Yemen?

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

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

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

strength.

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.

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

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.

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

Have you ever met someone and something seemed so unusual about them but you couldn't put your finger on what it was?

toughness is to meditate.

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

3. Turn Off the AC

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

I committed the unpardonable sin. God immediately punished me so that I can no longer think like before and my brain is as if paralyzed and does not work. I've tried everything (confession, repentance, etc.) nothing helps. Any advice?

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.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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.

Who is the most dangerous or evilest person of all time?

1. Cold Showers

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

Why do men suck dick? Me, I can't get enough

strength?

5. Give Up a Vice

4. Meditate

What are the reasons behind Europeans preferring to visit third world countries over taking holidays in their own continent?

Plain and simple.

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

strength over time.

‘King of the Hill’ voice actor Jonathan Joss is fatally shot in Texas - The Washington Post

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.

It’s funny…

2. One More Rep

Why do Darwin atheists not like facts of Genesis? I’ve noticed they block and dismiss everything a person states. Is that how science works to hide when a truth comes at them?

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

Our lives are way too easy.

7. Go Through Hell Week

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.

Seriously.

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

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.

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

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

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

So how do you cultivate mental

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

Try it… You’ll see.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

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

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.

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

Mental

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

toughness.

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 11 pullups instead of 10.

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