If you think you have to have some kind of aggressive mindset, personally I think it will be too easy to tense up / become stiff. Not saying there is no place for aggression in xingyi, just that Santi is for practicing other things.

The aggressive mindset is one of the (main)resultat of the santishi practise, it should give the practitioner fire in the eyes, the eye of the tiger, a calm, cool, relaxed aggressiveness that in an instant can be explosive aggressiveness. This has nothing to do with tensed up/forcera breathing, or tensing up the body, if this happens then one have not correctly practiced for example the santishi. As i think you all know Xing/Xinyiquan is a very direct martial art, and practiced right quickly develops a martial mind set.

The aggressiveness i talk about is the result of the santishi practise, the practise in it self has nothing to do with standing and try force one self to feel aggressive, that would be silly, very silly..
