How do I become mentally strong?

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 it… You’ll see.

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

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.

Could the guys here tell me how their first experience with a trans woman was? Who was the lady to you? ( I mean girlfriend, one night stand, etc.) I just had my first experience recently and I would like to know about others?

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

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.

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

Do Republicans realize that the power of the people is invested in 'representative government'? If so, why did they elect a pathological liar?

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

Seriously.

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.

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.

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

As a Chinese, what disgusts you about the Chinese society today?

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

Plain and simple.

Why do British people always write "xxx" after their names?

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

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

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

1. Cold Showers

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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?)

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

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

It’s funny…

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

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.

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.

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

strength isn’t rocket science.

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.

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