How do I become mentally strong?

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

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

2. One More Rep

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

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.

What is unattractive about a nice guy? Why do some women don’t choose nice guys?

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.

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

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

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

Is it wrong of me to feel uncomfortable that my friend thinks my brother is hot?

It’s funny…

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

5. Give Up a Vice

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Seriously.

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

1. Cold Showers

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Mental

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

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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.

7. Go Through Hell Week

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.

So how do you cultivate mental

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

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

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

as a Navy SEAL.

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.

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?)

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.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

4. Meditate

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

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).

Plain and simple.

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
