Manage episode 423599405 series 2604818
We often get asked, "What is grit, and how will I be evaluated on that attribute at the Air Force Special Warfare Assessment and Selection, or A&S, course? How do I prepare?"
Well, we got you. Grit, mental fortitude, or the willingness to continue in the face of uncertainty can *most certainly* be trained and built.
In this enlightening conversation, Aaron and Peach delve into the significance of mental fortitude and the means to bolster the mind before embarking on the pipeline journey. They stress the importance of honoring commitments and persevering through discomfort. They also highlight the power of reshaping one's mindset and embracing the identity of a person who follows through without making excuses. Additionally, they discuss the value of self-regulation, managing reactions, and maintaining emotional balance. They place emphasis on the concept of reach-back moments, both physically and mentally, as crucial preparation for the challenges ahead.
Jared and Aaron also underscore the significance of mental fortitude and its cultivation. They emphasize the need for resilience and the capacity to surmount obstacles. They expound on the idea of drawing strength from past experiences during reach-back moments to navigate adversity. Furthermore, they advocate for dependability, fulfilling commitments, and prioritizing others. They underscore the importance of mental preparedness and being comfortable with starting from the bottom. Overall, they offer valuable insights and strategies for fortifying the mind.
