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

It’s funny…

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

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

Is it possible that my TF caused a kundalini awakening in another person? He is famous because He is a singer. We have not met physically yet, but I have gone through kundalini awakening and DNOTS and their ongoing. I have also had soul recognition so I know for sure that He is my Divine Counterpart and I do not have any doubts about it. But it is indeed perplexing that somebody had an awakening at the physical level because of Him. Is it a test for me? I have a mixture of feelings. On one hand I marvelled at Him and empathised with the person and on the other, I doubt if this just a test for me. I would appreciate your pov. Thank you for much.

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

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.

toughness by turning the AC off.

Our lives are way too easy.

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.

Plain and simple.

Another great way to boost your mental

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

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

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

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?)

7. Go Through Hell Week

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

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.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

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

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

4. Meditate

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

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.

One rep, one set, and one step at a time.

Try it… You’ll see.
