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?"

Setting The Scene Down Under

Jana Shelfer 0:00

Are you ready to create a life you crave? Let's spin that doom loop of negativity into an upward success cycle and start Living Lucky®.

Jason Shelfer 0:14

Good morning.

Jana Shelfer 0:15

I'm Jana. I'm Jason. And we are Living Lucky®.

Jason Shelfer 0:19

You are too.

Jana Shelfer 0:21

Live from Mulwala, Australia.

Jason Shelfer 0:24

All the way down here, down under yet, down yonder.

Jana Shelfer 0:28

You added a little bit of southern.

Jason Shelfer 0:31

I had to bring it down south.

Facing The Jump And Fear

Jana Shelfer 0:32

Okay, there you go. We just wanted to give y'all an update of what we've been experiencing the last few days, weeks. Weeks. But the last few days we've been in a world competition, and today I did jump, which everyone who is around me knows that I get super nervous yet excited because you're literally skiing over this five-foot jump, and it can look like you're skiing towards a brick wall at 26 miles per hour.

Jason Shelfer 1:03

That's crazy.

Snake Delay And Safety Panic

Jana Shelfer 1:04

And then all of a sudden, now throw in some brown snakes in front of that. I know. Right before I right before it was my turn, they were like, Oh, we're gonna have to take a 10-minute delay because there's brown snake under the dock.

Jason Shelfer 1:16

How about the Canadian coach, David, coming and sitting down and right next to us and talking about, oh, well, some people have been had their cages break and impale them.

Jana Shelfer 1:27

No, I'm gonna call him out because I'm literally sitting on the dock ready to go.

Jason Shelfer 1:33

In fact, we 90 seconds to go time.

The Coach’s Catastrophe Talk

Jana Shelfer 1:36

And the Canadian coach comes over and he's like, I just want to tell you that your cage is really unsafe.

Jason Shelfer 1:43

Your cage is a death trap. Because you're riding around on a death trap basically.

Jana Shelfer 1:48

This is going to break and it's going to impale you. It's going to impale you.

Jason Shelfer 1:52

I don't want you to die out there. Maybe you should drop out right now.

Jana Shelfer 1:56

He literally goes into all of the examples of people he knows that have had cages like mine, and what happens is they break in half and they literally impale you.

Jason Shelfer 2:07

Now, outside of that, this is on the heels of in prelims, or not in prelims, but in the familiarization, poor Samantha Longmore goes over the ramp and breaks her leg.

Jana Shelfer 2:21

Breaks both of her legs. Both of her legs. Australian athletes.

Jason Shelfer 2:26

We find this out but right before competition starts this morning, and she's in the hospital uh either in somewhere close by.

Jana Shelfer 2:34

I was there when it all happened. I was in the bathroom and I watched her go. I watched this all happen. I watched the safety people come out and they had to literally like pull her out of the water, take her to the hospital.

Jason Shelfer 2:46

Now there's a little, there's more apprehension on the It's seeds of doubt. On the the jump starting of the actual competition. And then the Canadian coach David sits down and starts going, You're sitting on a death trap. People get impaled because their cage breaks right here when they sit on a cage like yours.

Jana Shelfer 3:12

Let's don't go there right now.

Jason Shelfer 3:14

I couldn't take it anymore.

Jana Shelfer 3:15

And finally, Jason stepped in and said, Dave, leave. Just leave.

Jason Shelfer 3:20

Go away.

Jana Shelfer 3:21

You said, go, go talk to Todd or something like that.

Drawing Boundaries Around Negativity

Jason Shelfer 3:23

We don't, we don't talk negativity here. Well, we're changing all the equipment anyway after the after the new year. And I knew this. And we don't need any negativity.

Jana Shelfer 3:35

Many of you know my cage broke three weeks ago, and I had it welded together. So I already know that it's a little bit unstable. And then he comes over and he's planting these seeds of doubt, fear catastrophe on me. And finally, Jason had the wherewithal to just be blunt and say, you need to leave. Like we are not having this conversation on the dock right before we jump.

Jason Shelfer 4:01

Yeah, you can stick to the city.

Jana Shelfer 4:02

This is a conversation that we can have later, and we appreciate your knowledge and wisdom, but not right here and now.

Jason Shelfer 4:11

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 that something is gonna happen.

Life Lesson On Sharing Dreams

Jana Shelfer 4:20

And this is a life lesson. Yeah. This is a life lesson because how many times do you tell people your dreams before they are fully um maybe shaped or fully realized, even to yourself? And so you start kind of talking out loud of dreams. And people start giving you every reason why you shouldn't do that or what possibly could go wrong if you happen to take that path. It is they start catastrophizing and they I mean, I understand create a different belief system for you. And I truly believe that Dave's intention was for our safety. However, there's a time and a place, and while I'm sitting on the dock waiting for the boat to come pick me up is not that time.

Jason Shelfer 5:12

Yeah, once you've already lit the fuse, yes, it's not time to get. I mean, like it's there's not time to get off the rocket. Yes. That's not the place.

Jana Shelfer 5:21

The only way you get hurt is if you get off the roller coaster mid-journey. Right. You you just once so big, once the roller coaster starts, you gotta ride it.

Jason Shelfer 5:30

You can't just take off your seatbelt and jump. So that's such a good analogy.

First Jumps And Miscommunication

Jana Shelfer 5:35

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't even know that I landed. Like it did not hurt at all. It felt smooth, it felt great. I beautiful from the I even increased my speed for the second one. Oh, that's right. I was feeling good about myself, and the person on the boat gives me a 3-1. And I'm like, I don't, I think she thinks I want to go 31 miles per hour. So right when she said that, I like, I'm like, back to the dock. I'm not doing that.

Jason Shelfer 6:20

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 6:29

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 lot of freaking meters. That was a perfect job. That's what was going on in my head. That I it was one of those 100 feet. It was one of those publics commercials where you come off and people, you know, the father's like, Oh, I'm sorry, buddy. And he was like, I was awesome.

Jason Shelfer 6:56

That's me. That's no, no, that's the way I live my life.

Euphoria Meets Reality Check

Jana Shelfer 6:58

No, that was me. That was me after these two jumps. I was in euphoria, and I literally was I I seriously almost came back and said, take that.

Jason Shelfer 7:09

That's right.

Jana Shelfer 7:10

You know, like try to beat that.

Jason Shelfer 7:12

Janna Moon walked off the dock.

Jana Shelfer 7:14

And then I realized that 31 is only like nine feet.

Jason Shelfer 7:19

No, it's 31 feet, nine, nine and a half meters.

Jana Shelfer 7:22

Well, at any rate, it was way smaller than what it was in my head.

Jason Shelfer 7:29

I can relate to that.

Jana Shelfer 7:30

Can you? Yeah, and there was almost like this deflaticitis. It was like the balloon just went.

Jason Shelfer 7:39

This deflates.

Jana Shelfer 7:42

The balloon like let all its air out.

Jason Shelfer 7:45

You did great. So this is this is literally your first measured jump ever.

Jana Shelfer 7:52

I know.

Jason Shelfer 7:52

Your first two measured jumps ever.

Jana Shelfer 7:55

I know. And they both increased.

Jason Shelfer 7:58

However, however, I know. I know where you placed, but you placed. I like to look at things from a positive perspective.

Jana Shelfer 8:06

This is a ballroom dancing situation where where we place last, and Jason's like, we place.

Jason Shelfer 8:13

You were second from last.

Jana Shelfer 8:15

But out of everyone that jumped today, I jumped the least distance.

Jason Shelfer 8:22

That's true.

Jana Shelfer 8:23

Out of every single athlete that landed men and women that landed, I was the least.

Jason Shelfer 8:30

But not everybody landed.

Reframing Results And Progress

Jana Shelfer 8:32

So you gotta Um, I think everyone landed at least one. I I might challenge you on that.

Jason Shelfer 8:40

I'll go back through the scores.

Jana Shelfer 8:42

Yeah. I feel like everyone landed at least one. He landed. He landed all three.

Jason Shelfer 8:51

Okay.

Jana Shelfer 8:55

At any rate, in my head, I I don't know, while it was happening, I I literally was thinking, I'm a natural jumper. Call me, call me jumpin' jamma.

Jason Shelfer 9:09

Call me Kermit.

Jana Shelfer 9:13

And then uh yeah, I get the scores, and I was like, oh, that's you know what?

Jason Shelfer 9:19

That just means now you get to leapfrog over everyone else because you just there's nowhere to go but up.

Jana Shelfer 9:25

Is that it? Is that the way to look at that?

Jason Shelfer 9:27

Yeah. I mean this is your first competition jump ever.

Unexpected Family Support

Jana Shelfer 9:33

Okay, so one more thing that happened that I just want to share with everybody is right after we got off the dock, Jason got a phone call from his family. Wasn't that so sweet who was celebrating Thanksgiving, and the day after Thanksgiving, we always have cousin nights.

Jason Shelfer 9:52

And it was like nine o'clock at night.

Jana Shelfer 9:54

It was late at night, they stayed around and everybody was watching, and it just 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 see someone that you never expected to be like cheering for you in your corner, like that, like pulling back the curtain and people are actually cheering for you instead of like like um like wanting to push you over. 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 it in action. Yeah, like to see it in action, and then there were some posts on their social media where it like they were videoing the screen of the television where they were all watching, and then they would pan out to the whole family. And the whole family would be like And I was like, Oh my gosh, look at them all.

Choosing To Believe You’re Cheered For

Jana Shelfer 11:02

And seeing right then the commentator goes, clean as a whistle, right when I landed. 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 that is 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 allowed ourselves the space to believe that there are people rooting for 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 for us, and we are also rooting for you. So we are in your corner rooting for you in the background.
