All dressed up with nowhere to roll… Bjj has become such a vital and essential part of my self-care that I imminently notice a difference in my wellbeing when I can’t train. I’m not the most social person globally, and BJJ has always provided a space to make meaningful connections with others from all walks of life who share a common goal of personal growth. BJJ is essentially a combination of cardio-intensive HIIT training, bodyweight exercises, weight training AND partner yoga. Being able tk do that for hours and still identify as a person who doesn’t “workout” Is valuable. Lol It manages my anxiety and keeps me depression-free by draining any nervous energy or physical/ emotional stress. It forces me into a self-hypnosis state that feels a lot like the freedom, peace of deep meditation. I pump myself full of endorphins and an incomparable sense of fulfilment. It reminds me that I’m resilient and well equipped to take on the challenges and obstacles of the world, which is just what the self-esteem needs to thrive. It encourages mindful self-reflection, not just about my training but about life and how I interact with the world. It insists that I take good care of myself AND others. It keeps me accountable. I don’t know when I will be able to have all that again. So for now, I’ll do the next best thing: put on my Gi and watch reruns of trash reality tv. 😆 #welcometomylife P.s. It’s Bell Let’s talk day!
