Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

strength?

What is it like to wear a kilt?

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

strength.

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

Why do I get bored with porn so quickly? I can watch maybe half a video (5 mins max) and then get bored and do something else. I don't watch porn often, just a teenager. 17.

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

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

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

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

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

What will the legacy of Jimmy Carter be in light of his death today at 100?

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

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.

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.

Why do I sweat a great deal while exercising the same on some days and not so much on others?

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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

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).

1. Cold Showers

What made Sally Field a standout choice for "Smokey and the Bandit" despite her reputation as a serious actress after "Sybil"?

3. Turn Off the AC

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

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.

— we are metamorphosing!

Mental

toughness.

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.

Why do so many people like life?

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

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

I am still studying engineering. I feel worried being an average student. Can I get a good job in placement, buy a house, and a car? I don't know why I feel 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

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.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

Will my parents go to hell if I don't wear hijab, they tried to convince me and they provided it to me but I don't want to wear it?

It’s funny…

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

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

Why do we still feel attached or jealous when a covert narcissist moves on, even after realizing their toxicity and the suffering they caused?

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

Can they start feeding only one meal to prisoners on death row or those doing a life sentence? Because only then will it be real punishment. If they want extra food they can work or pay from their own pocket.

toughness is to meditate.

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.

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

Isn't it unfortunate for the Democrats that we Republicans are the masters of the universe who control everything while the Democrats control nothing?

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

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?)

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.

What’s a historical event you wish more people talked about?

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

Seriously.

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

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.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

So how do you cultivate mental

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

4. Meditate

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Plain and simple.

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

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

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Another great way to boost your mental

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

toughness by turning the AC off.

5. Give Up a Vice

2. One More Rep

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

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

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.

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

strength over time.

Start this off by doing it for one 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.

strength isn’t rocket science.
