How do I become mentally strong?

as a Navy SEAL.

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

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).

I’m 26 years old and a married woman. My husband hates my flat chest. What is the permanent solution?

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

Try it… You’ll see.

Was there any slavery of white people that actually compares to the transatlantic slave trade? I’m not baiting or anything actually genuinely curious and want to know.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Which is the correct Tamil New Year, Thai-1 or Chithirai-1?

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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

Trump is going to target known criminals in the country illegally for deportation. The Democrats have vowed to fight him every step of the way. Don't they understand this is one of the issues that cost them the white house, the house and senate?

So how do you cultivate mental

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

Seriously.

Atheists who said that reading the Bible made them an atheist, how? Literally there are millions of people who read the Bible daily and still believe in God. So why say that? I mean unless you want to sound smart & edgy

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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.

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

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.

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.

Plain and simple.

Can ringing in the ears be a sign of spiritual awakening?

5. Give Up a Vice

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

3. Turn Off the AC

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

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.

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.

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

2. One More Rep

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

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

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

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

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

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

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.

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?)

strength over time.

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.

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

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

Another great way to boost your mental

toughness.

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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.

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

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