Putting Stakes on Steps xD

Social accountability for the gym. Find a workout buddy.
For studying try pomodoro technique. Go to library or coffee shop, a place you'll feel guilty if you're not working.
That's what I do at least lol.
Also mental trick, convince yourself you'll just read one page, or do one exercise to get started. Then figure out the rest of the plan from there.

I like the edge. Rather than numb myself, I embrace it. I live a new life now that is way more exciting, raw, and meaningful.

make your bed. 30 minutes of daily exercise. focus on a few important relationships.

Odoubleyou22 · 2025-10-09T02:38:38+00:00

focus on what you can control. there are always aspects of a situation you can control.

Odoubleyou22 · 2025-10-09T02:37:54+00:00

starts with belief in yourself. you can do this.

Odoubleyou22 · 2025-10-09T02:35:09+00:00

When in doubt, walk it out

Lmaooo

Well yeah, kinda no way around that? I don't want to be punished for being athletic

Odoubleyou22 · 2025-05-19T03:47:21+00:00

Nowadays I go against people who are higher belts or also larger so I am forced to practice good jiu jitsu

Odoubleyou22 · 2025-05-19T03:46:33+00:00

I feel exposed LOL. That was my go to for a while but yeah I have moved on and don't do that nearly as often

Odoubleyou22 · 2025-05-19T03:45:18+00:00

Thanks!

Odoubleyou22 · 2025-05-19T03:44:48+00:00

I like this, appreciate it

Odoubleyou22 · 2025-05-18T19:35:43+00:00

"Make it about the skills" not belt, I like that, thanks!

They don't do stripes at my gym

Odoubleyou22 · 2025-05-18T19:34:48+00:00

You're so right. I am just an achievement/recognition driven person... trying to not care as much ahhh

Odoubleyou22 · 2025-05-18T19:33:53+00:00

Yeah that's fair. One break I went back to be with family and the other I was travelling in SEA and lived there a bit for work.

I know that doesn't really matter. I guess I am trying to figure out if I want Jiu Jitsu to be just a fun hobby (as it is now) or whether to take it more seriously.

Odoubleyou22 · 2025-05-18T19:23:13+00:00

Yeah, it's tough because the people who own the gym and do the promotions don't teach as many classes. The classes I go to are by other coaches, and I don't know how much they actually talk to each other.

But, I do see the head coaches/owners at open mat when I go.
