Summary

On this episode of the podcast, Chewy and Eugene discuss multiple mindset tips that can help with BJJ and in life.

We discuss the idea of “detachment,” separating yourself from your accomplishments, dealing with negative self-talk, how to develop awareness and change things that you don’t like about yourself, how a loss helped Chewy get refocused and re-energized, being the “watcher,” how to stop ruminating, if Jiu-Jitsu has gotten "softer," and dealing with anxiety of competition.
