Listen "Building Mental Toughness and Embracing Resilience"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textWhat if mental toughness is something you can cultivate rather than just a trait you're born with? In this episode of the Hustle and Flow podcast, we discuss the arrival of our grandson, John Bradford, whose due date interestingly aligns with our anniversary plans. We also discuss the impact of my recent scoliosis diagnosis, adding a personal layer to our broader discussion on resilience. Tiffany and I compare our distinct approaches to building mental toughness: I actively seek out challenges, while Tiffany embodies resilience naturally.Mastering emotions is a key theme, as we share experiences that highlight the importance of processing rather than ignoring emotions. From nearly becoming stoic to finding emotional release through prayer, we underscore that mental toughness involves seeing challenges as temporary and reframing them positively. We recount stories of caring for sick family members and navigating business setbacks, emphasizing the essential traits of confidence, stability, and belief in one's ability to overcome obstacles.Challenging yourself to grow is another significant focus, where I talk about pushing limits through the 5K a day challenge and the 75 Hard program. We also discuss signing up for the Dallas Spartan Ultra, a task that has required me to hire a running coach and extensively train. Whether it's sleeping outside for a 24-hour event or considering sleeping on the floor before long runs, we emphasize the value of stepping out of comfort zones. To those hesitant to take risks, we offer encouragement, highlighting how these experiences build resilience and foster personal growth. Support the showhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2312581/support
