How do I become mentally strong?

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

Seriously.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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).

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.

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

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

It’s funny…

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

What is your biggest mistake or regret?

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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

Do any members of BTS have significant others in real life? If so, why do they choose not to discuss it publicly?

strength isn’t rocket science.

Mental

toughness is to wake up earlier.

What is your response when someone says "how may I help you"?

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.

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.

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.

I told my 13-year-old daughter that she should never start a fight, but has my permission to end it. She got suspended for ending a fight that some other girl picked with her by hitting her then retreating. How do I handle the school’s response?

4. Meditate

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.

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

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.

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.

7. Go Through Hell Week

Why do so many men on the internet try to compete with women, or try to "humble" and bash them? There's so many videos across my tiktok and YouTube of men claiming how they're wanting to get back at women and put them in thier place.

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

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

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

In Italy, how do people greet each other when they meet for the first time (e.g., on the street)? What's a good response to that greeting if you're not from Italy or don't speak Italian fluently yet?

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

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

1. Cold Showers

If you believe in God, do you think God can save you from cancer?

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.

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 did my ex of 2 years move on so fast after he left me? Why does he act so cold towards me, and as if I don't exist?

2. One More Rep

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

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

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.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

Plain and simple.

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

How common is it for siblings to fight over their parents' inheritance money? What is the best way to handle this type of situation?

5. Give Up a Vice

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

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

Another great way to boost your mental

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

Our lives are way too easy.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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

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

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

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