S3E05: How To Destroy The Mental Block That Has Always Limited You…The Unconventional Way

In a weird way, the shame of not fighting back was always worse than the beating I took.

I lay lifeless on the floor, as fists slammed into me. I was just an observer of the physical assault.

I did nothing.

After the event, I would - ironically - beat myself up about not having the courage or the masculinity required to fight back.

That shame was the worst part.

Partly in a quest to destroy this shame I joined the military. I then started training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I saw myself as a fighter and thought I was beyond it.

And at least physically, I was.

But when I was confronted with a challenge at work, I saw a familiar pattern. I shut down.

It looked like procrastination. It looked like laziness. It felt like fear and numbness combined.

I would look back at the day and wish I had acted differently. Just the same as when I was lying in bed as a teenager…wishing I had fought back.

Why could I logically know what to do, but physically not do it?

Why couldn’t I break free from these invisible chains?

This plagued me for years. I worked on my beliefs. I trained my character, but something was always missing.

18 months ago, I finally found the answer. It changed my life. It changed the lives of hundreds of high performers I’ve trained in this skill.

Today, I’m going to share it with you.
