Today's mental toughness post comes to us from the SealFit blog. Commander Mark Divine discusses the power of positive thinking. 

It should be no surprise that I suggest that SEALs employ positive thinking as a key tactic for mission success. Without it, SEALs would find it difficult to work as a team, or make it through an intensive training like Hell Week. But the skill is not talked much about, only in the context of managing internal dialogue. It isn’t practiced either, per se. It exists in the successful SOF candidates as a trait either accrued from their upbringing, through parents and/or influential mentors or perhaps their very DNA carried the seeds of a positive mindset. But where did this simple idea, that positive thinking can influence outcomes positively, come from? Has it always been part of our cultural norm? And by the way, what the heck has happened to it recently? It seems that our media and political establishments are working overtime to turn back time and eradicate this important part of the American cultural history: that what you believe is possible is actually achievable.
Thinking in a positive manner, focusing on solutions rather than problems and not allowing negative thinking to derail us, is essential in the pursuit of worthy goals. By cultivating a positive, forward-thinking attitude, one is better able to adapt and overcome the obstacles that will arise. Obstacles become opportunities to learn from, creating a clearer and stronger path towards mission success.
Positive thinking also inoculates you from the herd mentality, which is invariably biased negatively. By breaking from the herd, which always seeks reinforcement and is openly critical of others, the positive thinker adherent is able to tap into a resiliency that keeps them moving in spite of constant setbacks. 
Positive thinking allows you to embrace change, look forward to the obstacles and be less reliant on the opinions of others. The positive thinking is willing to become the change they want to see in our world, rather than wait for someone else to effect that change.
