So how did you prepare yourself for that, firstly?

Yeah, I think, so I can distill it down to two core things.

However, within each of those, and you can also, there are other factors at time, but if you really wanted to simplify it down, it is one, a complete alignment with your I guess, ideal self and acting in accordance with that, i.e. your goals, your values, basically who you see yourself as and how you want your life to look and then approaching, setting out to achieve that using process and systems and habits to achieve that.

Exactly what you've talked about there with so selection, the whole, and I agree it is.

So I agree that it's 80%, whatever the figure, it's predominantly mindset.

after you've got the base physical level so everyone that turns up obviously you need to have a base physicality to be able to cope with the loads you're carrying etc but you know the 200 odd guys that always start the selection process have already passed infantry training whatever throughout that level so it is pretty much down to mindset um you know and So many things always surprised me when you're on selection of things that would break people and more often than not, and it's the same through general military training.

It's never usually the intense physical challenge, whether that's say the commando tests in or P company or in selection, say, you know, hard physical stuff on the ranges.
