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

Weeks 37 & 36 far from ideal and when I got swept from my path and focus  zzn  ✨️ 

So I GOT A deep lesson and consequences of not showing up and earning my right to be on the mat. By doing the things to set myself up to be prepared and ready for success. 

It's not that I'm doing dumb things to get injured or not deliberately not putting in th  world. It's more that I'm need to create space to do more of the things that serve me. 

What if I feel like I have nothing left to give? If each step I'm taking is bringing up more obstacles not clearing the path? 

What are my choices if I'm not willing to tap put on my life, myself or my dreams? 

Surrender to my Dreaming and make space to just be in this moment. 

Yarning about how my movement practice is evolving into something so deep. That my road to worlds 2024 is evolving me as a person,  Dreaming and how be and move through the world. 

That our habits and how we show up in this moment is a love letter to our future self. 

This journey to becoming, being and embodying a Black Belt in life, JiuJitsu, culture, entrepreneurship and my roles is taking me on a path I never dreamed. 

And I yarn about how Resilience is taking on a new form and practice in my journey. 

With 41 weeks until world's 2024. I am seeing the benefits and results of showing up and being consistent. 

And it is building my confidence, courage and belief that this is possible for 2024... 

The path and preparation for World's 2024 is definitely not a linear or straightforward process and path. 

So allowing it to be what it is. And this week I hit a PB with my weight lifting and this was the boost I needed. To stay focused on the bigger picture. That if I show up each week I can figure this out. 

Is the journey to Black Belt and world champion worth it??? 

A question been swirling in my spirit and world. 

42 weeks until world's 2024. And the training is not going the way I wish. And I'm allowing the lessons to be what they need to be. 

Why is it when we face challenges, some of us make it personal and make it mean we are shit people or not capable or good enough? 

In this I yarn about a moment on the mat, where I was struggling with a move/technique. And instead of making it about the move, my mind immediately made it personal and that I wasn't capable. 

And it was a simple perspective shift and a different view from a coach that helped me find a solution.
