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.

If you're new to the Last 8% Morning, over the course of 15 minutes we integrate movement, mindfulness, and mental training exercises. Why? So we can build the skills necessary to be our best in our more difficult moments, what we call the Last 8%. What are these skills? These are skills of emotional intelligence. Why? We do this because it is emotion that gets in our way.
