In a very short time, we are working from home, or we have lost our job, or are home schooling our kids, feeling the effects of isolating alone or possibly being with others in cramped quarters.

If this isn’t bad enough on its own, we are also facing the virus of fear that comes with uncertainty. Are things going to get worse? Are our loved ones going to be OK? Is it OK to end social distancing now? How long can we keep this up? These strong emotions make it difficult to form an effective response when we face the difficult decisions and conversations in front of us.

Most believe we feel emotions - but that isn't the case. The brain and the body both don't feel emotions; they only receive two specific inputs. In this podcast, JP will discuss how the brain 'makes' emotions and what that means for our ability to control and manage them.

Our idea of the day in today’s podcast is: why make your bed? Why might there be value in taking the 2-3 minutes it takes to make your bed when you get up? JP’s shares what he learned working with the US Navy and Army and Navy Seals around why might it have a positive effect on your life and day.

What do you do when you feel overwhelmed? When it feels like your very foundations are moving beneath you? In today’s session, JP describes ETA, a powerful strategy for when we feel hooked by strong emotions -- such as those many are experiencing due to the Covid-19 pandemic. ETA is a tool that you'll want to practice until it becomes second nature and is ready to be deployed when you feel most challenged.

To be our best when we face Last 8% situations requires a transformation, requires us to change if we are going to meet these challenges. But change is never easy.

We cannot just will ourselves to change our behavior. We need to anchor it in a deeper core belief about who we are. Why? Because it very difficult to do things that are out of alignment with how we see ourselves and who we believe we are. We can be easily thrown off when we are trying to do or try something new, when we are attempting to transform ourselves.

The key to transforming ourselves is creating a new identity first. To change our behavior for good, we need to see ourselves differently, we need to start believing new things about ourselves, 

During today’s podcast we are going to craft an imperfect Identity Statement that we will use within our Last 8% Morning routine. We are going to revisit this statement many times and, in fact, this repetition might drive you a little crazy. But it is important that we do this because it will allow us to burn new neuropathways into our brain.

These neuropathways and this identity statement will anchor us and enable us to be more confident, less stressed and less sensitive to the Voice in Our Head (VOH) as we face our most challenging Last 8% situations.
