How do I become mentally strong?

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

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

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.

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.

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

What does it mean to live "the 'underconsumption' life"?

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

When have you been in an accident where the other person involved blatantly lied to the police about what transpired?

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

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

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

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

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

7. Go Through Hell Week

Why do people mourn when their leaders lose elections? Is it common for people to cry over events that are out of their control?

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than 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?)

So how do you cultivate 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).

Another great way to boost your mental

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

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

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

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

It’s funny…

1. Cold Showers

Seriously.

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

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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.

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.

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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.

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.

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Plain and simple.

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.

4. Meditate

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

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Try it… You’ll see.

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

strength.

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

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.

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.

3. Turn Off the AC

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

Mental

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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