There is an old school view of toughness and a new school view of toughness, the old thinks the new is “softer” but the results don’t lie. The old school view of toughness is built on callousness and is NOT a way to build toughness.
Pushing people with control, fear and power will not lead to long term results. That CAN be way to break down a group of people to see if they are up to the task of growing and maturing with training and support…but it isn’t a way to build long term toughness. You don’t build resilience by blindly pushing through adversity.
Building toughness through helping people understand how their body and mind react sets them up to keep a clear head and make appropriate decisions, regardless of how stressful or uncomfortable a situation is.
It’s teaching people to focus on the internal part of stress instead of the external pressure.
I hope this was helpful! Thanks for being here! Take care!
