Why am I attracted to older men?

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

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

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

How can I get over a break up?

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.

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

Plain and simple.

What is the best technique for inserting a tampon into one’s anus?

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

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.

Is it ok to be spanked by your parents if you are not in bed in your set bedtime?

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.

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

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.

1. Cold Showers

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

From an axiology/value theory point of view, how can one say that a diverse society is better than a uniform one, especially given the negative effects of diversity (racism, sectarian conflict, problems arising from extreme cultural relativism)?

Start with only 12–24 hours.

4. Meditate

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

What is your twin flame story?

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?)

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.

What can be done to combat group stalking and harassment by an organized gang or society, particularly when they use universal sound weapons?

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

toughness is to wake up earlier.

3. Turn Off the AC

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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).

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

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.

Another great way to boost your mental

Start this off by doing it for one 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.

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

So how do you cultivate mental

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

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

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.

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.

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