How do I become mentally strong?
Last Updated: 17.06.2025 02:37
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.

Our lives are way too easy.
3. Turn Off the AC
So how do you cultivate mental
What are some ways to improve speed in sprinting, running uphill, and long/middle distance running?
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.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
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.
It’s funny…
5. Give Up a Vice
How do you go about getting invited to an orgy?
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
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?)
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.
Why do people procrastinate and how can they stop?
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.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
as a Navy SEAL.
Why don't I want to talk to my girlfriend when she loves me a lot? I feel bored.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
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.

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.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
Plain and simple.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

1. Cold Showers
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
The same way you get physically stronger…
Try it… You’ll see.
toughness.
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.
toughness is to meditate.
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.
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.
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).
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Another great way to boost your mental
strength isn’t rocket science.
Seriously.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.

It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
2. One More Rep
4. Meditate
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.
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.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
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.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
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.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
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
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
