Listen "The Intimate Interrupter"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we dive into the sneaky inner voice that tries to pull us off track—the “Intimate Interrupter.” Inspired by Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman, we explore how distraction, discomfort, and boredom show up in our training and our daily lives—and what to do about it. Whether you’re a martial artist, athlete, or just trying to stay focused in a noisy world, this episode will challenge the way you think about repetition, struggle, and the urge to quit. We’ll also unpack why your phone feels irresistible, how your last two reps matter most, and why black belts are built in the boring moments. Tune in and learn how to train your mind like you train your body—one focused rep at a time.Learn more about Martial Arts and Fitness in Uxbridge, Ontario, Canada. Check out www.okamikai.com
