How do I become mentally strong?

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

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

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.

What exactly is female squirting? Is it only urine or a combination of liquids?

Another great way to boost your mental

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?)

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).

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.

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

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.

3. Turn Off the AC

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

What made you recently say to yourself, “Wait. Really?”

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

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

It is common sense that Joe Biden is ruining America and is unfit to be president, but why are the liberals still supporting him when Trump is obviously a much better fit for office?

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

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

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.

Answer me this. These days guys love anal sex right, if you present them with your ass they will happily nail you into the ground. So why do some guys think it's "sissy" to let women stick a finger up their ass?

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

4. Meditate

What are some cute stories with your crush?

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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.

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

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

Try it… You’ll see.

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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.

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

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

2. One More Rep

Plain and simple.

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 isn’t rocket science.

So how do you cultivate mental

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

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

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

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.

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