Our Special Operations forces thrive in complex and extremely dangerous environments. They are trained to avoid complacency at all costs. They refuse to let their guard down or express weakness. They must always be a “hard target.” This mindset becomes part of who they are through training and combat. This results in the undesired effect of unintentionally carrying this mindset permanently. Stress, fatigue, poor sleep, and hypertension becomes normal to the Special Operator regardless of their present situation. This causes the symptoms to get progressively worse as it can take a toll on relationships, lead to excessive alcohol consumption and depression. We want to help them find balance by focusing on the mind and practicing different forms of mindfulness to assist in controlling those thoughts, emotions to ultimately help improve the Special Operator’s overall effectiveness.
