If I could offer one piece of advice, that is particularly true for combat sports:-
The way you think influences the way in which you live your life. Thinking 'I'm a pussy' is extremely counter productive, particularly if you want to toughen up a little. A big part of performing well is confidence. If you repeatedly do yourself down and dwell on your perceived lack of courage, you will act like a pussy in the gym and in the ring. You don't need to tell yourself you're a champion, you just need to relax and do the work, and see where you end up.
You're not a pussy, you're a guy who took a step that he needn't have taken. You don't get any great fanfare for that, but it takes more guts than many realise to walk into a fight gym for the first time, particularly as an adult. Stake your pride on not skipping sessions because you're sore and you know the work will be hard. Relax, give yourself to the experience, and you may well find you make good friends and radically transform yourself in the process.
Killer advice H1N1.
Before I found the Red Pill I was huge into positive self talk and affirmations.
I still do this but now it is kind of an automatic habit for me.
When your in public you can think thoughts like:
I am Strong, I am Confident, I am Cocky, I am Handsome,
I am full of Testosterone, etc...
I feel Happy, I feel Powerful, etc...
When your in private you can say these things out loud.
Sounds cheesy, yet it works.
