Developing Mental Toughness and Becoming Unbeatable in Life w/ Navy Seal Mark Divine - EP 166

[@kungfuman82]

I cannot overestimate the importance of these videos. Mental training is probably the most overlooked thing in Western society, and it shows. We're weak, we make excuses and welcome our enemies with open arms, and we rely on drugs to handle life when it comes at us, and all because we as a society are weak-minded. I'm not mentally tough. I'll admit it. I love physical fitness so I have no problem pushing myself in the gym - I love to do it, after all - but my mind is weak and I've been on a bender with these videos to develop that strength. I can't thank you enough.

"Your mental development spills over into your emotional development. Because mind and emotion are really two sides of the same coin. An emotion is just a felt thought. It's a thought that you having meaning wrapped around it." -Mark Divine

[@brettlarson3801]

Mark Divine's philosophy and style is the best i've found from 'new age guru' types, he's legit. Thanks for the awesome episode guys.

[@saraleger13]

Always enjoy what this guy has to say.

[@patsquanch]

That box breathing exercise felt amazing. Making this a new daily thing.

[@AtlTuba88]

I love the deep breathing exercises. As a musician who does this on a daily basis, I have honestly never thought to apply it to other situations. Great episode!

[@budlifebroseducationalgrow5653]

Loved this. Wish I had a team for this man

[@julielynn86]

This is awesome. And here I am, a once-upon-a-time pulmonary nurse.....watching and learning anew about the benefits of breathing....so very many benefits! LOL love it! Such a seemingly rudimentary 'skill set'....who knew! I am newly hooked on your videos AND--ready for the lobbing of the mortars!!! In all seriousness, mad respect for you guys, so very much gratitude, and just so you know, there are gains to be secured from your training 'lessons' for females too. Big time. Learning to Man Up!...one video at a time! ;-) PS. The laughter alone does a body good! :-)

[@xianglinst]

Hey guys, really enjoyed this episode, and great technique wod. Mark's insights on team building corresponded well with my research on the effect of unit identity on resilience and mental health in combat troops. Very much appreciated that you brought him back on the podcast!!

[@TropicalJuiceRules]

I think this just changed my life. Specifically the technique WOD part.

[@zacharynielsen8539]

Love Mark Divine! Great insight from some of the most extreme situations life will ever throw your way

[@Ernstly930]

Thank you for being a stone to get me back into meditation!

[@jasongibbs8284]

Normally I stick to the 'crossfitter episodes' but I'm glad I tuned into this one (recommended by friend). My CF buddies always tell me that I'm strong and capable of anything once I decide I can do it - I've always battled anxiety and focus in WODs and lacked belief in myself in general but I truly believe Mark D's box breathing tech will make a huge difference to how I approach everything. Definitely going to buy Mark's Warrior Yoga book. Thanks Barbell Shrugged

[@kungfuman82]

I'm in the same boat. I lift weights and can play two musical instruments well... only because I decided I wanted something that those things could give me. Other stuff I couldn't give two shits about. These videos are super-important.

[@alexandercastiglione872]

For real, this was great. The breathing especially. Keep em coming, guys.

[@DannyMatt88]

I could only like this video once but I wanted to like it again and again every couple minutes. Great vid!!

[@Mongoosemcqueen]

Really enjoyed the previous ep with Mark, looking forward to watching this one

[@BarbellShrugged]

Then you'll dig this one fo sho!

[@chelgerson]

Training for Kokoro now. I'm so excited. I hope the breathing skills will help with my endurance/speed with running (which is where I struggle the most). Keep up the good work guys.

[@thebigoaktree8401]

Hell Yeah bro, deep, powerful, strength building, necessary. Keep it up BBS!!!

[@desertholm]

Just got to watch this..., was looking for more info on breath control and the para-sympathetic breathing. Just the little routine Mark did with us was fantastic, I felt it. So much more of a direct approach as well, not just sort of in out/focus stuff, the 'box' breath was key too. Thanks, and thanks to Mark, for being a Seal and so freaking Warrior!

[@cdc0186]

mark is a definite role model for me. would LOVE to get to attend kokoro at some point. Great interview and technique wod.

[@hernanr100]

This is really good episode. You guys are good interviewers.

[@designatron7894]

Outstanding, thanks for the breathing techniques.

[@06livefast]

Powerful Mark Divine! #Powerful

[@BlckCloud73]

I just want to thank Mark Divine for being an ex Navy S.E.A.L. and NOT having a beard.

[@anastasia10017]

[@lionlee19hk]

For some reason I was expecting Joe Rogan under that log...

[@InvestorAcademyPodca]

[@RichardsWorld]

[@JohnDoe-du8by]

+Richard's World it's not a brand...only the most badass dudes have them issued in a secret ceremony somewhere in the Japanese woods...I cannot disclose the location...

[@ChizmMonkey]

[@jackbinding5587]

[@keithalbahae1443]

I BET A 350 POUND PROFESSIONAL BODYBUILDER COULD LIFT THE 350 POUND LOG AND RUN THE WHOLE 6 MILES LIFTING THE LOG OVER HIS HEAD! BECAUSE THE IS THE EXACT WEIGHT HE IS!

[@johnbunyan9506]

That guy in the blue shirt that says "Strong is happy" is annoying af 4:07. Mark's trying to talk and all this guy can think is "I have something way better to say and its funny!" Except it's not...
