How do I become mentally strong?

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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.

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

Do you have any fantasies you are ashamed of?

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).

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

How do flat earthers explain the Earth being stationary? Is this concept considered impossible?

Try it… You’ll see.

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?)

Why do Republicans only believe in two genders? How do they explain Caitlin Jenner and George Santos?

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

When Trump blames DEI, isn't he just saying "it must be because there's black or brown people involved"?

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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.

What makes someone feel "rich enough" in different societies?

1. Cold Showers

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

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Why do certain religions consider menstruating women to be impure? Where did the concept of impurity stem from?

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

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.

Why do wokes use words like "homophobes" when they don't know what that means? Do they realize that no one is afraid of them?

How do you stop your balls from sweating?

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

Why would a person always be so tired?

strength over time.

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

Our lives are way too easy.

Why are people so terrified or bothered that a person has original creative ideas, hobbies or unique interests?

2. One More Rep

It’s funny…

If Russia needs the resources to fund the war in Ukraine, why doesn’t it throw open its doors to visa free western tourism? Enough people would be interested, & it would start to get some hard currency as €, CHF, £, SEK, $, JPY in the tills at shops.

Start this off by doing it for one 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.

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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.

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.
