It celebrates the humbling experience of Jiu Jitsu and embraces the joys of moderation, whether it's wine, beer, or your chosen form of escapism.

We'll share the usefulness of writing things down and debunk the myth of perfect control over life. The episode also underscores the importance of seeking discomfort, the calming effect of daily breathwork, and the influence of the company you keep.

In this brand new mindset with muscle episode I dive into 4 things I've been thinking about this week

👉 Expose Yourself - If you avoid things you’re fearful of you’ll be more fearful of them. To get over this you need to expose yourself often to the thought and feeling.

👉 Boiling a Frog - Don’t get comfortable in an uncomfortable environment as the longer you spend there, the harder it is to leave.

👉 If We Were Wise - The antidote to perfectionism is to realise how imperfect we really are

👉 Negative Visualisation - Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Visualise often a life without the things you love and you’ll appreciate having them more.

This episode is from an epic live stream I did last week on Instagram.

In this conversation, Jay discusses six bad habits that people should drop for better physical and mental well-being.

The habits include doom scrolling, gossiping, snoozing, vaping, comparing oneself to others, and multitasking.

Listen to Jay's insights and strategies for breaking these habits and the alternative positive coping mechanisms to replace them with.

In this episode, I share with you five of my favourite Mental Models for Growth

👉  “The Map is not the Territory” The world we think we live in is not always the world we live in

👉  “The Anchoring Bias” Be careful to place too much of your decision-making based on the first piece of information you hear

👉  “The Confirmation Bias” Weight up all evidence when making big decisions; it’s not easy to disagree with your personal biases, but doing so will save you a lot of heartache and regret

👉  “Fundamental Attribution Error” Try and separate someone's behaviour from who they are. Empathy and Kindness Win every time.

👉  “The Curse of Knowledge” Never assume someone knows as much as you. Always try and simply down complex subjects. Doing so will give you a greater understanding of the subject too
