How do I become mentally strong?

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

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

Does a narcissist ever get their comeuppance/karma for the vile things they've done? Such as cheating, smear campaign, etc.

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

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.

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

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

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

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

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

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

I haven’t eaten junk food for weeks, I ate dirty all-day yesterday, but I can’t even workout, why am I so tired?

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

So how do you cultivate mental

1. Cold Showers

Is there an MBTI personality that is more or less likely to handle stress?

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

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

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.

My marriage is fixed. My future husband repeatedly calls me to meet me in private and pressure me to have a relationship. What should I do?

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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).

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

It’s funny…

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

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.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

5. Give Up a Vice

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.

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

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Seriously.

Plain and simple.

3. Turn Off the AC

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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?)

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.

4. Meditate
