How do I become mentally strong?

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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.

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

So how do you cultivate mental

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Start with only 12–24 hours.

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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.

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

2. One More Rep

toughness.

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.

Seriously.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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