How do I become mentally strong?

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

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

Why do liberals and Democrats think it’s “ironic” for Donald Trump to say “We have to get back to law and order”?

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

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.

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

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.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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.

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.

7. Go Through Hell Week

1. Cold Showers

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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.

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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.
