How do I become mentally strong?

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

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

1. Cold Showers

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.

Seriously.

I’m a 25 year old teacher teaching at boys school & I have colleagues younger than me. I caught one of my students telling her he wanted her as his teacher instead & it hurt my feelings. They compliment her a lot. It makes me jealous. What do I do?

Our lives are way too easy.

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

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

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.

Try it… You’ll see.

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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.

2. One More Rep

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

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

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.

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.

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.

toughness.

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
