Have you ever regretted something said in anger? Or wished you could undo a hasty decision? This episode draws on the tale of a young boy, a bag of nails, and a wise Zen master to illustrate the impact of our actions and the deep scars left by words spoken in anger.

Discover how the disciplines of Jiu-Jitsu and Zen teach us to manage our reactions and embody self-control. Sophia shares her personal journey in Jiu-Jitsu, revealing how it's not only about physical strength but also about mastering our mental responses. The story of the boy and his nails serves as a metaphor for our daily interactions—reminding us that every word, like every nail, has consequences.

Stay tuned as Sophia offers practical strategies for applying these lessons in everyday life. Learn how to pause before reacting, practice mindfulness to enhance awareness, and reflect on daily interactions to foster growth. Whether at school, with friends, or at home, these techniques can reshape how you approach life's challenges.
