Self-leadership builds trust
For the past few weeks I’ve noticed myself consistently skipping my Jiu Jitsu training.
It was in my calendar just like my other meetings. Many times I even had packed my bag the night before. However, when the time came to leave for the training I noticed in the past weeks I’ve consistently given priority to finishing work related tasks.
Reflecting on this pattern I noticed that going to Jiu Jitsu is essentially a meeting with myself.
The observation was that I keep my meetings with others, but am more flexible in not honouring meetings with myself.
Today I got annoyed with this tendency in myself as I noticed it erodes my level of self trust and sense of personal integrity. The arising anger was a signal that I was allowing outer factors infringe on the things that support my well-being and clarity.
Fundamentally, how can I lead others and be a trustworthy person if there are still areas in which there’s an inner discrepancy.
What this experience highlighted for me is that:
I shall be realistic with my time. Squeezing a training session into a lunch break conflicts with my desire to properly eat and nap. From now on Jiu Jitsu is scheduled after work.
Instead of being over ambitious with two trainings a week I’ll do one, play the long game and have the time before collecting my sons from school to relax in the sauna.
The importance of being up front with my priorities, how much I can take on and courageously saying no.
As a friend said at the House of Beautiful Business in 2021: „The first person we lead is the person who wakes up in our pyjamas in the morning.“
