Most Influential PersonMy WifeEffect on EmotionsI
have learned how to ignore the rest of the worlds judgement on emotion
and pursue momentum. I think that for most of us people that think like
you and I do have a hard time with happy, sad, frustrated, ticked off,
pissed off, and confused, we don't know the difference. For me learning
who I really was and getting a higher level of presence showed me that
my life's motivation is to create momentum, forward motion and
innovation not happiness. That's a bulls**t term that doesn't work for
me.Thoughts on BreathingI
think there is four pillars to becoming a transformational leader,
breathing, hydration, nutrition and movement. Most people would say I
was crazy because I didn't name one thing about the functions of being a
leader, but if you breathe, you hydrate, you're supported nutritionally
and you move an appropriate amount, you will be the most present person
in the room.Suggested ResourcesBook: The Highest Goal by Michael RayApp: Paper and PenAdvice for NewbieGet
away from electronics as much as you can and don't turn a screen on in
the morning until you have had at least an hour or two of time to become
present and plan your day. Then understand your intention for the day
and record were you uncomfortable yesterday, that will take you out of
the constant reactivity most humans are in today.Thank You Bonus
