How do I become mentally strong?

as a Navy SEAL.

Plain and simple.

7. Go Through Hell Week

Isn’t freedom of speech and expression an absolute right?

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

strength?

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

How is it, in the USA, a country with 334 million people, the choice of President comes down to two aged men, one of whom is a liar as well as a criminal, one who appears to be on his way to dementia. Surely a democratic country can put up better?

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

Seriously.

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.

I saw a post on X which says "control your lust & you'll understand how boring 90% of women are." What do you think about it? Do you agree or disagree? Why?

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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.

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

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

What do you think of Vance using a clip of an embarrassed teenager from almost 20 years ago in an attempt to bully Kamala Harris?

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?)

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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.

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

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).

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Would you let your partner cheat on you every now and again?

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

5. Give Up a Vice

Dear atheist, do you realise that there is a God watching over you who will one day judge and condemn you for every wrong thing you have said and done before casting you into the lake of fire?

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

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

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

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

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

toughness.

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

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.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Try it… You’ll see.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

4. Meditate

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.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

3. Turn Off the AC

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.

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

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

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

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

toughness is to meditate.

It’s funny…

So how do you cultivate mental

Mental

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

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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.

2. One More Rep

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.
