I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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.

So how do you cultivate mental

What discoveries in AI research have changed our understanding of intelligence evolution?

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

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?)

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Why are Trump supporters so incredibly stupid?

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

I'm British and feel ashamed of the crimes of British colonialism. What should I do?

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Why do only ugly women like me on Tinder? Is it because I'm an ugly man?

Mental

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

Since the rise of feminism, the dating market has shifted to the disadvantage of men and that is causing this incel phenomenon. Why do women not understand how lonely the majority of men are?

The same way you get physically stronger…

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

Why do liberals think it is okay to steal votes while the rest of us obey the law(s)?

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

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

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.

Its year 2041, and president Hunter Biden has ordered every republican who sweared at him to be arrested and shot. I am on my way to the death row listening to the cheer of the Liberal mob chanting death death death. How can I escape?

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

Plain and simple.

How do I stop my 12-year-old daughter from crying herself to sleep? I have punished her and she still does it.

7. Go Through Hell Week

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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 meditate.

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

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

toughness is to 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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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.

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

Our lives are way too easy.

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.

5. Give Up a Vice

strength isn’t rocket science.

4. Meditate

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

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.

1. Cold Showers

Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental

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

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

Try it… You’ll see.

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

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.

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

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

2. One More Rep

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

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

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

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.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .
