Mental

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

How do people in your country say "you're welcome" in their native language(s)? Is it a commonly known phrase or do most people just reply with "no problem"?

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

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

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

Why do some people refuse to explain their actions or behavior when asked? Why do they claim to not know the reason instead of providing an explanation?

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

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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.

If an abortion doesn’t affect you, why do people make it a big deal?

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.

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.

Plain and simple.

What happened to The Simpsons deleted onscreen footage?

Start this off by doing it for one day.

2. One More Rep

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.

My religion teacher said that there are no atheists because in order to reject God, you must first have a concept of God, and if you have a concept of God, you are not an atheist. In what way is this true, if at all? Why?

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

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

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).

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

Why do I want to be caught sucking dick by my wife?

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

strength.

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 wake up earlier.

5. Give Up a Vice

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

Another great way to boost your mental

toughness by turning the AC off.

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?)

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.

strength over time.

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

1. Cold Showers

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.

Seriously.

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

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

Our lives are way too easy.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

toughness is to meditate.

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.

It’s funny…

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

as a Navy SEAL.

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

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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.

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

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

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.

So how do you cultivate mental

I’m just better at handling the suck.
