I'm in a stage where I feel like I need to retrain my mind, because since the beginning of my career, I've been such a fighter and a little hustler and someone who just tried to stay afloat in this business.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is no single way to train, or do anything well. You have to keep thinking, keep doing things.
Stay open-minded; stay focused. Train hard and train smart. For me, the older I get, the smarter I have to train also, because the recovery time is longer. Work on everything: become a well-rounded fighter - don't just be good at one thing; be good at everything.
When I am training, I don't want any disturbances. I have to be focused, not losing sight of my targets. I cannot evade the fact that I am now well known and I have made already some money, but you can learn how to deal with it.
If you're going to stick around in this business, you have to have the ability to reinvent yourself, whether consciously or unconsciously.
Training has been such a huge part of my life and career I hope to keep going with it.
Do you know how many times my career has been close to rock bottom? Each time, I was like, 'Girl, figure it out. Reinvent yourself.' Just the other day, I was having lunch with my mom, and she said, 'You've taught me so much. You are so resilient.'
I try to take things that challenge me either physically or mentally, or I have to learn a new skill.
In my life I do a lot of things but I never forget my training.
My life is training.
When I look back at my career and my life and how much I have learnt, I feel blessed with what I have. I have stopped fighting with myself.
