How do I become mentally strong?

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

Why do women need to wear bras, in spite of the fact that the breasts are an integral part of the body?

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

Teens like me, what are your expectations when entering adulthood?

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

How can I fall asleep fast at night?

strength isn’t rocket science.

Did Trump show us once again that he is a master debater?

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.

4. Meditate

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

Isn't it ironic people always talk about how much women hate Donald Trump, when almost any of them would marry him if they could? What he said in the 2005 Billy Bush video, almost every woman would share the sentiment if it got them his lifestyle.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Does the Lil Wayne song ‘Lollipop’ refers to a Lollipop sweet or a metaphor?

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

It’s funny…

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

What are some things you would change about Avatar: The Last Airbender if you were to redo the series?

2. One More Rep

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

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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

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.

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

5. Give Up a Vice

Another great way to boost your mental

Our lives are way too easy.

The same way you get physically stronger…

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

toughness is to meditate.

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.

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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.
