Fantastic piece. As a retired, yet long -time amateur boxer....I found counter punching to be a style that suited me perfectly. OK...In 3 round fights, it may not be the best strategy, but it suited me fine since my endurance was better than most.... and more importantly, it transferred well into everyday life. Jab and move!

Listening to a podcast today and it talked about a 5min rule. Give yourself 5min to feel the feels. And in 5min reflect back and ask yourself if you can change what happened. (Obviously no - so it’s a matter of mindset to move forward)

Through repetition - you can learn to allow the thoughts to pass with out responding in haste

Good lord. Can’t even count how many times I fucked up with quick replies. Such a big truth. Thanks for explaining so clearly.
