How do I become mentally strong?

as a Navy SEAL.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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.

My blog is new. I need 10 article posts for my blog. How much should I pay for it?

Why do flat earthers exist?

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.

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

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.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

Why was Super Buu so afraid of having Fat Buu torn out and becoming Kid Buu if he was going to destroy the Earth even before his transformation?

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.

7. Go Through Hell Week

What were Hitler’s habits?

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.

Seriously.

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

Do women lack the mental strength to succeed at STEM? There seems to be few women at STEM and more women leave STEM after a time of working at it. How can it be just sexism if women aren't banned from entering?

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

2. One More Rep

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

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.

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).

strength over time.

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

Plain and simple.

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

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

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.
