Building Mental Toughness

[x SF med]

I want to add to this, the thought if quitting crossed my mind at a particularly dark, wet cold time, it left when I realized what a disappointment I would be to everyone including myself if I followed through, I don't even forgive myself for having those thoughts. That was 5 years ago, I laugh now thinking how miserable I was, but I might be crying if I had quit!

You cry anyway, you weenie. Racking sobs that can be heard across the country. You'd think you lost your poncho liner or something.

I did, that is why I almost quit, it was cold without my trusty poncho liner!

MAJOR FAIL... losing your poncho liner is cause for removal from the Regiment evenremoval from the human race... my poncho liner is older than you are... and I know where it is... and my towel too....

Back on the topic of building mental toughness; this exercise might help.

What helped you develop the strength to get through your respective SOF selection courses?
Was it your faith, words of a mentor, or just a personal desire to test yourself?

I won't quit anything I choose to begin.

Truth. Especially when you're 225lbs.. I feel like my CNS fries after doing 3-4 weeks of these workouts. Good shit though!

JonnyB: I agree fully! the longest i've ever been able to follow the program as Rx'd was 41 days straight, and on the 42nd day i walked in the gym, layed on a mat and was absolutely f**Ked.

Its a great program to do a couple times a week, as a gut check session but its too much for me to have to contended with everyday-so-still a useful tool for building mental toughness.
