How do I become mentally strong?

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

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Why do Muslims not get HIV/AIDS in spite of having 4 wives and multiple relationships?

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

Another great way to boost your mental

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

Are there any more 'nun' jokes?

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

Why am I so jealous towards couples? Why am I tired of being single and feel my life is over?

4. Meditate

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Can you describe your experience taking the AIPMT/NEET entrance exam? Did you feel nervous or afraid while entering the examination hall and writing the exam?

as a Navy SEAL.

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.

So how do you cultivate mental

5. Give Up a Vice

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

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

Why is watching a man and a woman have sex considered perverted? It's how we all got here, it's what we do, I say if you want to watch porn then carry on!

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

Shouldn’t there be a short porn platform like TikTok?

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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.

Do all armies have the same rank structure?

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.

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

Why are there so many illegal Haitians in Ohio? They can't walk here. Democrats flew them here to cause chaos and crime in Ohio.

Mental

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.

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.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

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.

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

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

What explanations do flat earthers have for the shape of our planet? If they do not have any, why should their opinions on this topic be considered credible?

strength over time.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Plain and simple.

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.

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).

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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

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.

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.

Try it… You’ll see.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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.

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

strength?

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

Our lives are way too easy.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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

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

strength.

Seriously.

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

It’s funny…

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

1. Cold Showers

strength isn’t rocket science.

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.

toughness is to meditate.

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test 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?)

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

2. One More Rep

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.
