Journey to Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt w Shantelle Thompson Barkindji Warrior

X3 things I learnt from February and what that means for my journey to Black Belt. 

1. The power of purpose 
How having a purpose that is bigger than your fears, can allow you to move through anything. 

2. Your community and relationships matter 
Who is in your world and who you are in relationships has the power to make or break us

3. Small steps done consistently are powerful 
Small steps are powerful and can be underestimated 

A lot of people say they want change. But what happens when the burn of that change meets the moment? 

Something I'm learning and leaning into with my JiuJitsu practice. Is paying attention to how I make decisions and the results this is giving me. 

And this applies to my life, business and JiuJitsu. 

Walking a new layer of showing up in preparation to world's 2024. And consistency is beginning to feel good on me. 

What if one of the things holding you back, is that your mind has not caught up to your heart. What I mean is our heart and spirit already knows our truth and power. 

It is sometimes that our minds need time to catch up to our hearts truth. 

Community is such a fundamental part of being a human being and our experiences and needs. 

I share a yarn about what Community means to me and how I am evolving my community. 

If we have the courage to look ourselves in the eye in the mirror, to be with ourselves with mindfulness. We will know and hear the truth of if we are really showing up for ourselves, for our dreams, our calling and if our actions are congruent with our hearts and words. 

Only we can truly know if we are showing up and doing the work. 

Welcome to season 3, and my why and purpose behind JiuJitsu in 2024. 

How my 2024 has begun and the journey of week 33.
