How do I become mentally strong?

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

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

as a Navy SEAL.

Is it ok if I wear a bonnet as a person with straight hair? I used to have curly hair, but later on in life I got it treated, I’m not black, but my hair keeps getting frizzy every morning so I am considering it. Is it cultural appropriation?

Seriously.

1. Cold Showers

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.

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

3. Turn Off the AC

Do you consider yourself pretty?

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.

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’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

My boyfriend wants to break up over too many petty arguments. To me, they are molehills because I truly love him & don't really think twice about them. If he loved me would he work through it?

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

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.

Why are so many young teenage boys misogynistic? Where do they get these attitudes from?

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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?)

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

2. One More Rep

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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.

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).

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

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.

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

So how do you cultivate mental

strength?

Plain and simple.

Another great way to boost 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.

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

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

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