181: When Life Throws You Off Your Jiu-Jitsu Game and Vice Versa

From battling with self-doubt to finding inspiration in the daily struggles, we explore the multifaceted impact of Jiu-Jitsu and life on and off the mat. Life outside of Jiu-Jitsu can affect our performance on the mat. Factors such as sleep, nutrition, and mental well-being play a crucial role in how we show up and our ability to engage effectively.

Our time practicing Jiu-Jitsu shapes how we show up in life off the mat. How do we leave a tough day on the mats at the gym and not take it home with us? We need to have strategies and practices to handle the rough days to reap the benefits of the resilience they create in us.

183: Small Victories, Big Impact: Nurturing an Upward Spiral in Your Jiu Jitsu

We’ve talked about the downward spiral in previous episodes. You know, that moment when you make a mistake, can’t get out of your own head, and then the wheels fall off. We’ve all been there.

What if you flipped that concept and started building on the little things you are doing right? This episode was inspired by a recent episode of The Diary of a CEO podcast hosted by Steven Bartlett. He and his guest, Daniel Priestly, talked about the upward spiral and how it had the power to compound your success.

We discuss the power of intention, mindset, embracing the learning process, and celebrating the small wins, no matter what color your belt.

(00:00) What is the upward spiral? (01:44) The power of intention (06:12) Finding the small victories and celebrating them (10:06) Magic in the art of distraction (18:37) The power of affirmations and a positive mindset
