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

Are Americans really as uneducated and ignorant as portrayed in the media?

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

Why are we explaining today’s “climate change” as driven by human related “green house” gasses when natural “global warming” pushed sea level up to the “shores” of Topeka with no human contribution or even presence? Is Occam’s Rasor applied?

It’s funny…

Try it… You’ll see.

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

Why do Americans and foreigners alike describe the USA as prudish? Why do I see nothing prudish about the USA society? USA feels like one of the loosest countries although Americans claim to be very reserved.

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.

Do you think all these charges that have been brought against Trump are just a coincidence? If he was such a big threat why did they wait 3 years to bring these charges? Or is this all just election interference?

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

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.

How do I know if I am a bitch? I try to be a nice person but people often jokingly call me a bitch. My family calls me a bitch sometimes too.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

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

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.

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

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

So how do you cultivate mental

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