How do I become mentally strong?

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.

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

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.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

7. Go Through Hell Week

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.

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

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

Our lives are way too easy.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

5. Give Up a Vice

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?)

4. Meditate
