Protect Your Jump: Setting Boundaries & Reframing Results as Data (Not Identity) 🐍

A world jump competition, a snake delay, and a coach pushing catastrophe talk at the ramp. This is a masterclass in mindset under pressure.

This self-help playbook for courage teaches you to set a firm boundary and protect your fragile dreams. When the fuse is lit, you commit to the ride and choose your thoughts precisely.

You will learn:

• The Catastrophe Boundary: Decline untimed, negative feedback. Catastrophe talk is poison.
• Results Are Data, Not Identity: Short distance is just data. It creates an uncluttered path upward.
• Belief is a Team Sport: Unexpected support carries a special voltage. Believe in yourself because others are rooting for you.

Actionable Takeaways for Focus & Resilience:

• The Fuse is Lit: You don't climb off the rocket. Commit to the ride and keep your seatbelt on.
• Results are Data: Separate measurement from meaning. Use data for Actionable Curiosity ("What worked?"), not self-judgment.
• Guard Your Dreams: Be careful who accesses your fragile dreams before they root. Invite only timely, empowering feedback.
• Team Belief: Choose to believe you are supported. This steady mindset is the safest path to the next jump.

Hit play to learn how champions keep their hands steady on the dock!

• How to set boundaries against negativity before a big event.
• Reframing results as data not identity in personal development.
• Mindset techniques for competition and high-stakes moments.
• How to protect a fragile dream from early feedback.
• The difference between safety guidance and planting fear.
• "How do you set a boundary against negative advice right before a challenge?"
• "What is the difference between results and identity in a growth mindset?"
• "Why should you only accept timely and useful feedback?"
• "How does reframing low scores help in personal development?"

Episode Transcript

Jana Shelfer (00:00):
Are you ready to create a life you crave?
Let's spin that doom loop ofnegativity into an upward
success cycle and startLiving Lucky®.

Jason Shelfer (00:14):
Good morning.

Jana Shelfer (00:15):
I'm Jana.
I'm Jason.
And we are Living Lucky®.

Jason Shelfer (00:19):
You are too.

Jana Shelfer (00:21):
Live from Mulwala, Australia.

Jason Shelfer (00:24):
All the way down here, down under yet, down
yonder.

Jana Shelfer (00:28):
You added a little bit of southern.

Jason Shelfer (00:31):
I had to bring it down south.

Jana Shelfer (00:32):
Okay, there you go.
We just wanted to give y'all anupdate of what we've been
experiencing the last few days,weeks.
Weeks.
But the last few days we'vebeen in a world competition, and
today I did jump, whicheveryone who is around me knows
that I get super nervous yetexcited because you're literally

(00:55):
skiing over this five-footjump, and it can look like
you're skiing towards a brickwall at 26 miles per hour.

Jason Shelfer (01:03):
That's crazy.

Jana Shelfer (01:04):
And then all of a sudden, now throw in some brown
snakes in front of that.
I know.
Right before I right before itwas my turn, they were like, Oh,
we're gonna have to take a10-minute delay because there's
brown snake under the dock.

Jason Shelfer (01:16):
How about the Canadian coach, David, coming
and sitting down and right nextto us and talking about, oh,
well, some people have been hadtheir cages break and impale
them.

Jana Shelfer (01:27):
No, I'm gonna call him out because I'm literally
sitting on the dock ready to go.

Jason Shelfer (01:33):
In fact, we 90 seconds to go time.

Jana Shelfer (01:36):
And the Canadian coach comes over and he's like,
I just want to tell you thatyour cage is really unsafe.

Jason Shelfer (01:43):
Your cage is a death trap.
Because you're riding around ona death trap basically.

Jana Shelfer (01:48):
This is going to break and it's going to impale
you.
It's going to impale you.

Jason Shelfer (01:52):
I don't want you to die out there.
Maybe you should drop out rightnow.

Jana Shelfer (01:56):
He literally goes into all of the examples of
people he knows that have hadcages like mine, and what
happens is they break in halfand they literally impale you.

Jason Shelfer (02:07):
Now, outside of that, this is on the heels of in
prelims, or not in prelims, butin the familiarization, poor
Samantha Longmore goes over theramp and breaks her leg.

Jana Shelfer (02:21):
Breaks both of her legs.
Both of her legs.
Australian athletes.

Jason Shelfer (02:26):
We find this out but right before competition
starts this morning, and she'sin the hospital uh either in
somewhere close by.

Jana Shelfer (02:34):
I was there when it all happened.
I was in the bathroom and Iwatched her go.
I watched this all happen.
I watched the safety peoplecome out and they had to
literally like pull her out ofthe water, take her to the
hospital.

Jason Shelfer (02:46):
Now there's a little, there's more
apprehension on the It's seedsof doubt.
On the the jump starting of theactual competition.
And then the Canadian coachDavid sits down and starts
going, You're sitting on a deathtrap.
People get impaled becausetheir cage breaks right here
when they sit on a cage likeyours.

Jana Shelfer (03:12):
Let's don't go there right now.

Jason Shelfer (03:14):
I couldn't take it anymore.

Jana Shelfer (03:15):
And finally, Jason stepped in and said, Dave,
leave.
Just leave.

Jason Shelfer (03:20):
Go away.

Jana Shelfer (03:21):
You said, go, go talk to Todd or something like
that.

Jason Shelfer (03:23):
We don't, we don't talk negativity here.
Well, we're changing all theequipment anyway after the after
the new year.
And I knew this.
And we don't need anynegativity.

Jana Shelfer (03:35):
Many of you know my cage broke three weeks ago,
and I had it welded together.
So I already know that it's alittle bit unstable.
And then he comes over and he'splanting these seeds of doubt,
fear catastrophe on me.
And finally, Jason had thewherewithal to just be blunt and

(03:56):
say, you need to leave.
Like we are not having thisconversation on the dock right
before we jump.

Jason Shelfer (04:01):
Yeah, you can stick to the city.

Jana Shelfer (04:02):
This is a conversation that we can have
later, and we appreciate yourknowledge and wisdom, but not
right here and now.

Jason Shelfer (04:11):
And this is and like there's a there's a time to
step in and say something.
No, if you know for a fact thatsomething is gonna happen.

Jana Shelfer (04:20):
And this is a life lesson.
Yeah.
This is a life lesson becausehow many times do you tell
people your dreams before theyare fully um maybe shaped or
fully realized, even toyourself?
And so you start kind oftalking out loud of dreams.
And people start giving youevery reason why you shouldn't

(04:42):
do that or what possibly couldgo wrong if you happen to take
that path.
It is they startcatastrophizing and they I mean,
I understand create a differentbelief system for you.
And I truly believe that Dave'sintention was for our safety.
However, there's a time and aplace, and while I'm sitting on

(05:08):
the dock waiting for the boat tocome pick me up is not that
time.

Jason Shelfer (05:12):
Yeah, once you've already lit the fuse, yes, it's
not time to get.
I mean, like it's there's nottime to get off the rocket.
Yes.
That's not the place.

Jana Shelfer (05:21):
The only way you get hurt is if you get off the
roller coaster mid-journey.
Right.
You you just once so big, oncethe roller coaster starts, you
gotta ride it.

Jason Shelfer (05:30):
You can't just take off your seatbelt and jump.
So that's such a good analogy.

Jana Shelfer (05:35):
All right, so that's one thing that happened.
The second thing that happened,which was kind of I don't even
know what to think about it yet,but I went over the jump, not
only once, but twice.
I landed so perfectly I didn'teven know that I landed.
Like it did not hurt at all.

(05:56):
It felt smooth, it felt great.
I beautiful from the I evenincreased my speed for the
second one.
Oh, that's right.
I was feeling good aboutmyself, and the person on the
boat gives me a 3-1.
And I'm like, I don't, I thinkshe thinks I want to go 31 miles
per hour.

(06:16):
So right when she said that, Ilike, I'm like, back to the
dock.
I'm not doing that.

Jason Shelfer (06:20):
There's a miscommunication.
Miscommunication.
That's funny.
So because you started at 24,went to 26, and she's like, No,
I'm not doing 31.

Jana Shelfer (06:29):
Then we go back to the dock, and everyone starts
saying 31, 31.
And in my head, I'm like, oh,it had to have been 31 meters
because I literally that's a lotof freaking meters.
That was a perfect job.
That's what was going on in myhead.
That I it was one of those 100feet.
It was one of those publicscommercials where you come off

(06:51):
and people, you know, thefather's like, Oh, I'm sorry,
buddy.
And he was like, I was awesome.

Jason Shelfer (06:56):
That's me.
That's no, no, that's the way Ilive my life.

Jana Shelfer (06:58):
No, that was me.
That was me after these twojumps.
I was in euphoria, and Iliterally was I I seriously
almost came back and said, takethat.

Jason Shelfer (07:09):
That's right.

Jana Shelfer (07:10):
You know, like try to beat that.

Jason Shelfer (07:12):
Janna Moon walked off the dock.

Jana Shelfer (07:14):
And then I realized that 31 is only like
nine feet.

Jason Shelfer (07:19):
No, it's 31 feet, nine, nine and a half meters.

Jana Shelfer (07:22):
Well, at any rate, it was way smaller than what it
was in my head.

Jason Shelfer (07:29):
I can relate to that.

Jana Shelfer (07:30):
Can you?
Yeah, and there was almost likethis deflaticitis.
It was like the balloon justwent.

Jason Shelfer (07:39):
This deflates.

Jana Shelfer (07:42):
The balloon like let all its air out.

Jason Shelfer (07:45):
You did great.
So this is this is literallyyour first measured jump ever.

Jana Shelfer (07:52):
I know.

Jason Shelfer (07:52):
Your first two measured jumps ever.

Jana Shelfer (07:55):
I know.
And they both increased.

Jason Shelfer (07:58):
However, however, I know.
I know where you placed, butyou placed.
I like to look at things from apositive perspective.

Jana Shelfer (08:06):
This is a ballroom dancing situation where where
we place last, and Jason's like,we place.

Jason Shelfer (08:13):
You were second from last.

Jana Shelfer (08:15):
But out of everyone that jumped today, I
jumped the least distance.

Jason Shelfer (08:22):
That's true.

Jana Shelfer (08:23):
Out of every single athlete that landed men
and women that landed, I was theleast.

Jason Shelfer (08:30):
But not everybody landed.

Jana Shelfer (08:32):
So you gotta Um, I think everyone landed at least
one.
I I might challenge you onthat.

Jason Shelfer (08:40):
I'll go back through the scores.

Jana Shelfer (08:42):
Yeah.
I feel like everyone landed atleast one.
He landed.
He landed all three.

Jason Shelfer (08:51):
Okay.

Jana Shelfer (08:55):
At any rate, in my head, I I don't know, while it
was happening, I I literally wasthinking, I'm a natural jumper.
Call me, call me jumpin' jamma.

Jason Shelfer (09:09):
Call me Kermit.

Jana Shelfer (09:13):
And then uh yeah, I get the scores, and I was
like, oh, that's you know what?

Jason Shelfer (09:19):
That just means now you get to leapfrog over
everyone else because you justthere's nowhere to go but up.

Jana Shelfer (09:25):
Is that it?
Is that the way to look atthat?

Jason Shelfer (09:27):
Yeah.
I mean this is your firstcompetition jump ever.

Jana Shelfer (09:33):
Okay, so one more thing that happened that I just
want to share with everybody isright after we got off the dock,
Jason got a phone call from hisfamily.
Wasn't that so sweet who wascelebrating Thanksgiving, and
the day after Thanksgiving, wealways have cousin nights.

Jason Shelfer (09:52):
And it was like nine o'clock at night.

Jana Shelfer (09:54):
It was late at night, they stayed around and
everybody was watching, and itjust made me feel loved.

Jason Shelfer (10:02):
Loved, loved and rooted for fit in rooted for.

Jana Shelfer (10:08):
And that maybe more people were rooting for me
than I even realized.

Jason Shelfer (10:12):
That's and that's like there's a there's a
something behind that.
Like when you get to seesomeone that you never expected
to be like cheering for you inyour corner, like that, like
pulling back the curtain andpeople are actually cheering for
you instead of like like umlike wanting to push you over.

(10:34):
You know what I'm saying?

Jana Shelfer (10:36):
It just bloomed my heart.

Jason Shelfer (10:38):
Yeah, like it got me too.

Jana Shelfer (10:40):
In a way, me too.
I had tears aro around the eye.

Jason Shelfer (10:43):
And it's not like I don't think my family's
cheering for us, but to see itin action.
Yeah, like to see it in action,and then there were some posts
on their social media where itlike they were videoing the
screen of the television wherethey were all watching, and then
they would pan out to the wholefamily.
And the whole family would belike And I was like, Oh my gosh,
look at them all.

Jana Shelfer (11:02):
And seeing right then the commentator goes, clean
as a whistle, right when Ilanded.
Yeah, yes, clean as a whistle.

Jason Shelfer (11:11):
Irish Spring Jana.

Jana Shelfer (11:14):
Oh, that's so funny.

Jason Shelfer (11:16):
It really, it like sizes that day.

Jana Shelfer (11:21):
That was today.
That was today.
That was today.
So thank you for everyone thatis out there cheering, rooting
for us.
Sheila, I know you were there.

Jason Shelfer (11:30):
And here's an idea.
What if we just believe?
What if we just allowedourselves the space to believe
that there are people rootingfor us somewhere that we don't
even know about?
I'm rooting for you.
I'm rooting for you.

Jana Shelfer (11:45):
And not just Jason, but anyone that's
listening to this.

Jason Shelfer (11:48):
If you're listening to us right now, I
believe that you're rooting forus, and we are also rooting for
you.
So we are in your cornerrooting for you in the
background.

Jana Shelfer (11:56):
Let's wrap it up on that.
It's a jump! Have a good day.
