Today, we're discussing something every BJJ practitioner faces: feeling down when things aren't going well.

We've all been there, stuck under someone big or failing at moves. But before you let frustration take over, let's chat about giving yourself a break. BJJ is challenging, with ups and downs. It's okay to mess up. Instead of beating yourself up, try being nicer to yourself.

Celebrate the small wins, focus on progress, not being perfect, and don't compare yourself to others on social media. And when things get tough, talk to someone who gets it. Remember, you're not alone in this journey.

Keep showing up, keep learning, and keep growing. Share your thoughts below, and let's keep this conversation going. Thanks for watching, and see you next time!
