Insights from Chapter 1

#1

I began to notice a change in my concentration abilities during my final tune-up retreat at the Zen Mountain Monastery. I felt like a meditative failure, but the more I did it, the better I felt.

#2

I learned that I could gain control over my mind if I consistently practiced holding a true, complete state of silence in the mind. When you achieve this place of silence, you can witness the mind in action.

#3

The first premise of SEAL training is to discipline your mind, and the first step in doing so is to develop mental control. This can be difficult, as we are bred to identify with our thoughts. We find meaning by constantly thinking of our body, beliefs, successes, failures, rules, and roles in life.

#4

The Fish Bowl and Still Water Runs Deep are two super-effective concentration practices that can be used to quickly clear the mind. You can also just sit and observe your breath going in and out, or spend time in nature.

#5

To begin, find a comfortable place to sit. Close your eyes and scan your body from toes to head. This is a sensitivity awareness drill that can also be done as a stand-alone awareness deepening exercise.

#6

You should try to clear your mind completely using the fish bowl technique. In your mind, imagine your skull as a fish bowl and your thoughts as cloudy, murky water. Your breathing is the filter. Each deep breath you take in and out begins to clear the murky water of your mind.

#7

The more you connect with your witness, the more you understand that you are not your thoughts. This separation creates space for positivity to flow in, releasing you from the shackles of natural negativity.

#8

SEALs are trained to be rock-steady, but I am no stranger to the twin demons of negative thoughts and feelings. I learned to tune my attention to a positive frequency when I began to feel fear and dread settle in during my training.

#9

You must stop negative thoughts from occurring by using a power statement, then replace them with positive thoughts and images. You must have a contingency plan in place to prevent backsliding.

#10

The four-step process of Witness, Interdict, Redirect, and Maintain is a powerful mental control process that can be used to ward off negativity and maintain control over your mind. It can be done in an instant, and it will not prevent you from using your mind for problem solving.

#11

To be able to articulate your Three Ps and One Thing, you must first be self-aware enough to recognize them. Your Three Ps are what you are Passionate about, what you value, and what you are here for. Your One Thing is what you want to accomplish in your life.

#12

You should be able to clearly articulate your Three Ps and your One Thing. Once you can, write them down in a place where you can review them daily.

#13

The obituary exercise is a powerful way to reflect on your life and your legacy. If writing your obituary seems overwhelming, start smaller: write your epitaph from the perspective of having fulfilled your One Thing and lived your purpose in life.

#14

The first secret to mental toughness is to recognize and embrace the power of choice. It is the small choices that make the difference between good and excellent.

#15

The prevailing view in society is that stress acts on you insidiously and you are its helpless victim. But that is a myth.
