How do I become mentally strong?

Mental

toughness.

strength isn’t rocket science.

Why does TikTok allow porn stars in its platform? Isn't it aimed at teenagers?

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

So how do you cultivate mental

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

What does it mean if I had a dream about my mom who passed 12 years ago waking up from her coma and asking for my dad? I have never had a dreams about her since she has been gone.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

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

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.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

1. Cold Showers

Our lives are way too easy.

Can I fix a fridge leak myself, or should I call a pro?

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

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.

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

Why do companies cull employees during financial downturns without saying so?

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

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

Another great way to boost your mental

Why are white women dating more black guys than ever?

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).

It’s funny…

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

To a flat Earther, what's wrong with the idea that gravity is simply a force inherent to space which operates only in one dimension? Why do they go further and try to deny gravity rather than just saying it's different than physicists claim?

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.

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

Why do certain religions consider menstruating women to be impure? Where did the concept of impurity stem from?

strength over time.

strength.

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

Can you explain the meaning of "mint condition" in relation to antiques or collectibles?

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

2. One More Rep

as a Navy SEAL.

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

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.

toughness is to meditate.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

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

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

4. Meditate

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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?)

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

3. Turn Off the AC

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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.

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

strength?

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

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

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.

Seriously.

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.

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