Are You Beating Yourself Up? Beauty and the Gi: Gripping Conversations about Jiu-Jitsu and Life

Are you beating yourself up?
I had the realization this week that since I haven't had anyone beating me up on the mat for two months, I've started beating myself up.
A very minor bump in the road with a client turned into a major crisis in confidence for me. I fell into the dreaded downward spiral. If you haven't heard episode 7 on the downward spiral, listen to it next.
Until this week, I was unaware how much better I had become at setting boundaries and clear expectations, and going after what I wanted off the mat because I was physically doing it on the mat, or at least trying, a few times a week. It was becoming ingrained in me. I carried that behavior and confidence off the mat with me.
I didn't even know that I was beating myself up until a friend brought it to my attention. It hadn’t occurred to me that the impact of not training would be mental as much as physical. I knew my Gi was getting a little tighter, but I didn't think I was mentally losing my edge.
Be mindful of the chatter in your head.
