How do I become mentally strong?

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

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

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

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.

strength isn’t rocket science.

I caught my husband of 20 years looking at inappropriate pics of women on TikTok or Instagram. I'm not sure., but when I told him he got mad and made excuses of why they popped up. I then told him how I've snuck on his phone and saw what he's been looking at . We had a horrible big fight. I asked him why did he even marry me when I see the type he likes . Nothing like me, I'm petite, blonde and blue eyes. These women are dark haired dark eyed and have curvy bodies, large breasts, etc. I just don't feel the same about him after this. I can't get over this

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

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

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

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.

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.

So how do you cultivate mental

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

What makes outside showers appealing? Why are they not commonly seen?

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

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

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.

What does it mean when someone leaves something in your house, your room to be exact, and when you tell them, they say they left it there on purpose?

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

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

2. One More Rep

Our lives are way too easy.

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.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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.

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

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

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

Seriously.

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.

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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.

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Plain and simple.

It’s funny…

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

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

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

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

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.

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?)
