Last 8% Morning

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.

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.

Have you ever been so shocked by something someone said to you that you could not reply in the moment? Have you ever agreed to something that, on reflection, you wondered what am I doing, why did I say yes? 

In today's session, JP describes a powerful tool, the SOS, that is designed to help you respond versus react in your most challenging moments by helping you manage your brain and increase your impulse control.

Facing a Last 8% situation like COVID-19 stirs up strong emotions in us like fear and anxiety. It is in these moments that we need Emotional Intelligence more than ever. In this episode of Last 8% Morning, we follow our B.I.G. structure and explore the idea of the day: Emotional Intelligence, what it is and why it matters.

In today's session, Dr. JP Pawliw-Fry will use the B.I.G. structure and explore the idea of the day: Movement. He'll describe new research on what scientists call 'hope molecules' or myokines, and how they impact our brains in three fascinating ways, which we can leverage to take on Last 8% situations.
