How do I become mentally strong?

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

What is life without a job?

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Our lives are way too easy.

When a dog smells another dog’s poo or wee, do they then remember that scent for when they smell it again, or even further know which dog they are smelling if they know the dog?

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.

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

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

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.

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

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

Start this off by doing it for one 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.

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

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

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).

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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?)

4. Meditate

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.

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

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.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

1. Cold Showers

Plain and simple.

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

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

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

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

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

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

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