How do I become mentally strong?

1. Cold Showers

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

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'm a 27 year old male currently but I am going through going through gender dysphoria. Why do some transgender people (specifically transgender women since I see that the most) call themselves trannies or shemales? Aren't those offensive words?

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

Why did it take seven days for troops with helicopters, equipment, supplies, food, and water to be dispatched to southeast storm zones?

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

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

Gun owners, imagine if an attacker comes to your home and takes your gun to use against you before you had the chance to pick it up. Would you regret owning a gun?

toughness is to wake up earlier.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Which fish tastes good for South Indian curries?

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

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

Plain and simple.

How is cultural invasion being carried out by Bollywood?

The same way you get physically stronger…

4. Meditate

as a Navy SEAL.

I can’t get any girl I want, but I can just get some not my type of girls, so I feel I’m so ugly. What should I do?

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

Are LGBT people accepted in Japan?

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.

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Why isn't bestiality illegal in most states? If children can't consent, then animals DEFINITELY can't consent. Why is being a pedophile a crime but zoophilia is not?

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.

Try it… You’ll see.

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 started the whole idea of femboys? What is the whole point of a femboy? Did a boy or a man just randomly start dressing or acting feminine or something?

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

If Jesus was crucified by Governor Pontius Pilate, why does the Quran deny his death?

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

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

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

Can a bride cheat on her groom at a wedding?

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.

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.

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

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.

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

It’s funny…

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

toughness is to meditate.

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

Another great way to boost your mental

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

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).

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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.

Seriously.

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

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?)

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.

Mental

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

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

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

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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.

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

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

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

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

strength over time.

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