Monday Morning Drilling

This morning I started getting up at 6am again. I had stopped for a week since I was going to bed a little later. I thought I would be able to stay with my same routine and just start my workout and meditation later, but that hasn't been the case. I need to get up early and make Jiu-Jitsu and Meditation the first thing I do in the morning. That way, no matter what happens later in the day, I will have gotten that done and got my day started on the right foot.

Today I drilled open guard passes to taking the back and open guard passes to the armbar. I also drilled sweeps from the closed guard to the armbar. I went back and forth with that for 30 minutes while listening to the Jocko Podcast #9. Listening to Jocko talk about discipline inspired me to get back to my early morning routine. It's not about finding a time that is convenient to do your workout, it's about making time for your workout, because that is what needs to happen.
