How do you lose the ALL or NOTHING mindset with BJJ training? How do you make Brazilian Jiu-jitsu a part of your life and not your whole life.

This is the question I received from Chris P. . . Last name Bacon.

He says that he used to do BJJ in his 20s and now that he is doing BJJ after 30. He’s struggling to find a proper balance with his training.

In part because when he trained before, he trained like a mad man. And he finds that he is struggling to train less and still feel productive as an older guy in grappling.

In this video I share some of the struggles I’ve had over the years with different evolutions of myself. And the issues associated with that.

During the video I talk about everything from becoming an professional MMA fighter then leaving that, becoming focused on BJJ competitions and then pulling away.

I also talk about how my former self, like a lingering shadow, tries to pull me back into my old rhythms and patterns.

And by pulling away from some of my former identities creates a lot of uncertainty and anxiety because I’ve built myself up into something and then I’m moving on.

And I share this because Chris is probably battling with the new version of himself and the former version who used to train more.

Chris, and anyone else watching. I hope this helps!
