Why is my ex mad I moved on when he dumped me?
I’m just better at handling the suck.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
1. Cold Showers
What happens psychologically to a man the first time he gets penetrated anally?
Our lives are way too easy.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
Why do men like BBW? What is the attraction?
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
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build 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.
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.
strength over time.
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).

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.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
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.
What toxic behavior has been normalized by society?
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
Plain and simple.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
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.
Why did Kakashi use Chidori against Rin, despite knowing about her feelings for Obito?
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.
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
It’s funny…
How often do you watch the news on TV?
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

toughness is to wake up earlier.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
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.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
strength isn’t rocket science.
toughness is to meditate.
Try it… You’ll see.
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?)
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
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.
toughness.

7. Go Through Hell Week
2. One More Rep
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
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.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

as a Navy SEAL.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
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.

Seriously.
