How do I become mentally strong?

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Another great way to boost your mental

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

7. Go Through Hell Week

Start with only 12–24 hours.

It’s funny…

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

toughness.

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.

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 21 pushups instead of 20.

3. Turn Off the AC

Seriously.

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.

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.

as a Navy SEAL.

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

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

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

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?)

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

1. Cold Showers

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

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

5. Give Up a Vice

2. One More Rep

So how do you cultivate mental

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…
