How do I become mentally strong?

toughness is to wake up earlier.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

Can a dental anesthesia injection cause nerve damage? After receiving an injection in my gums I felt a sharp tingle going from the gum to my lower lip, and now sometimes I get a bit of itchiness and discomfort in my lower lip. What is it?

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

1. Cold Showers

toughness is to meditate.

Has a conversation with someone who holds opposing political views ever caused you to change your own beliefs?

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

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.

strength?

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

I found out I have cancer—I have not told my family. We can’t afford the treatment anyway. Should I just say nothing and let nature take its course?

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

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

5. Give Up a Vice

I have a bad reputation and need help. What should I do?

It’s funny…

Mental

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

Ok, so this is a question seeking an answer to clear up whatever gymnastics are in my head. I'm a moderately attractive guy, sincere heart, genuinely looking to love another, established. Why don't women that I'm attracted to, want me back?

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

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

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

Have anyone had an relationship of any kind with a spirit or demon, such as a succubus? If so, how was it?

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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.

strength isn’t rocket science.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

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 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 give up quality sleep to do this.

3. Turn Off the AC

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.

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

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

Plain and simple.

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.

Seriously.

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

Another great way to boost your mental

4. Meditate

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

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).

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

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch 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.
