How do I become mentally strong?

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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 this off by doing it for one day.

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

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?)

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.

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

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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.

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.

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

Try it… You’ll see.
