Is it wrong that I picked to be a Christian (as a teenager/14-year-old) even with knowing all of the information about other religions/atheism?

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.

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.

Do the British people realize how much American people absolutely despise them?

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Everyone says the pet population is out of control. Everyone says you MUST spay or neuter your pets. No one wants to talk about how its almost $1,000 to spay or neuter a pet. Why is it so expensive if its so necessary? Animal shelters do it for free.

The same way you get physically stronger…

One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Why am I always so tired and I don't eat enough?

Start this off by doing it for one day.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

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

My girlfriend lied and said she never gave oral until me. She was very skilled. I’m upset with her lying. Do I dump her?

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

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.

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.

2. One More Rep

There is any scientific evidence that we live in a sphere. Why do others say that we lives in a flat Earth but there is no evidence that they have proven the existence of a flat earth?

Seriously.

1. Cold Showers

Teens like me, what are your expectations when entering adulthood?

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

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

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

When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.

7. Go Through 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.

So how do you cultivate mental

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

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.

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.

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

strength isn’t rocket science.

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

One rep, one set, and one step at a 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?)

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

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

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.

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.

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

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

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

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

toughness is to meditate.

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

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

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.

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

Try it… You’ll see.

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

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.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

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

Our lives are way too easy.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

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).

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.

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

as a Navy SEAL.

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.

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

Another great way to boost your mental

Plain and simple.
