I think i'm gonna be promoted soon. Don't want to tho b/c I feel like I'm not good enough & enjoy being a blue belt. I know it's not my place to judge and there is nothing I can do which kind of helps actually. Anybody been there?

I'm 30 and I honestly felt like I was getting worse at bjj for a while. I think it was just a plateau that I recently overcame. Having some time to process being a genuine purplebelt, something that I wanted to be for a long time, starts to feel good now that I actually got it. Gotta work on my ego and learn to relax again on the mats.
