accept that you are what you want to be already
Identify with who and what you are capable of to create a strong self image.
Although it is difficult to measure, having a negative self-image hampers the activation of your subconscious, which hampers performance. Self-image resists change and can drastically impact performance. Consciously be the self-image you want. This will require working with direct affirmations and replacing your old self-image with your new self-image. If it helps, you can imagine taking the essence of your favorite jiujitsu players.
- beyond capable of great performances
- have sick, flowy, tricky, expressive jiujitsu
- hard to submit, slippery as fuck
- have fire leg locks and leg game
- going to get out of mount, and submit this mf
- a cold-blooded submission hunter
- going to get cross-ashi double trouble and submit this mf
- a wrestle up guard player
- going to come up and get my points
- an open guard float passer
- going to cut through pass you and consolidate position
- identify with champions you like
- it is me to perform very well in competition
