The Tactical Fitness Report with Stew Smith: Building Mental Toughness. After recent conversations with a few different Special Ops friends (Army SF, SEAL, Delta, UK Army Commando), we all agreed that to really be one of the few who graduate Special Ops training, you eventually have to do one thing without care: "Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable" I think this term applies to so much; not just in military and other special ops areas, but in life as well. This really is the key to building Mental Toughness. You do not get mentally tough overnight, nor do you get inspired one day and magically become mentally tough. You build it every day. Here are some examples of little ways you can start building mental toughness for anything you do in life using the mantra "getting comfortable being uncomfortable."
