How do I become mentally strong?

1. Cold Showers

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

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 looking for an answer from people who consider themselves "Gender Critical", or transphobic, or TERFs, and my question is this - Why would you refuse to use the pronouns someone wants? What does it cost you? Where's the harm?

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

Are you afraid of being alone?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

A kid threw a stone at my car. I confronted his mom (who was nearby). She said, "You can't prove it was my son." How should I have reacted?

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.

7. Go Through Hell Week

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

strength.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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.

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

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

as a Navy SEAL.

Try it… You’ll see.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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?)

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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).

Plain and simple.

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

It’s funny…

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Seriously.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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.

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

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.

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

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