2. One More Rep

Am I the unique Gen Z if I dislike TikTok and prefer the 2000s technology trends like retro consoles, CRTs, and CD/DVDs?

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental

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

Why are white women so hard to date?

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.

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

Can you share the entire summary of your spiritual life?

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.

Seriously.

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

Our lives are way too easy.

The world of the Harry Potter series is usually considered bad worldbuilding. What are some examples of actually good worldbuilding in the books/movies?

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.

Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental

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

What's a joke you haven't used yet, but are dying to share?

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.

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

The same way you get physically stronger…

Had strong anxiety, heart palpitations, headaches and fear randomly over twin flame presence, 20 mins later he didnt acknowledge me saw a photo of a girl on the back of his phone faced up. Assume it was a new gf. Was this a warning of seperation?

Plain and simple.

It’s funny…

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

What is unattractive about a nice guy? Why do some women don’t choose nice guys?

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.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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).

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

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.

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

strength?

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.

strength isn’t rocket science.

toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

I’m just better at handling the suck.

strength over time.

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?)

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.

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

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

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

3. Turn Off the AC

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

So how do you cultivate mental

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

4. Meditate

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

5. Give Up a Vice

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

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

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

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 this off by doing it for one day.

Mental

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

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

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

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

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