A little more background from you would help us to answer this question. If it's the Army SF, then you've got to go through Selection, then it's off to the Q course, language school and all that.

Selection is about 3 weeks, and then the Q course and all that stuff could take you two years. If you're in a combat MOS, you should be more than mentally tough enough to do the job, and you'd better bust your butt to get in the physical shape you need to be in, b/c it is a smoker.

As for strengthening your mental ability, either it's in you, or it's not. However, it is a team-based job. I'm very familiar with the program because of my time in the 82nd at Ft. Bragg. Although I was not interested in going SF, I know several people who attempted Selection and washed out, 1 with a knee injury, others with heat injuries, and some who just couldn't make the cut. You must be proficient in infantry training, but more than that, Selection is simply the "smoker" of a lifetime. Ask your SF Recruiter for a SF Fitness handbook, it will tell you how to train your body for SF, b/c it's more than just being able to do pushups and run.
