#306: Intimidated & Doubtful To Empowered & Confident & A Panic Story. More BJJ Life Lessons.

Some more life & emotional lessons from my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) "therapy".

2 Stories in this episode: 1 story of me feeling intimidated & doubtful rolling w/a younger more athletic dude and another story of rolling w/a young athletic lady that had me in a submission attempt that nearly "checkmated" me leading me to a near panic scenario.

How good are you at recognizing your victories – both big & small?

How good are you at recognizing your failures?

For me, over the past 4 decades, I have majored in my failures & for the vast majority of the time, ignored or poo-pooed my wins.

I'm working on having a better balance between my successes & failures.

I saw a new person at our BJJ gym tonight & I was initially intimidated by him & also began doubting my own skill level.

Intimidated & doubtful. What made you feel that way?

Was my ego trying to protect me from something? From failure maybe?

How was I defining failure? How do you define failure?

When is the last time you were able to identify, process & manage your emotions from unpleasant & uncomfortable emotions to pleasant & powerful emotions?

What was that experience like?

What did you learn from that?
