Are you feeling increased pressure these days? Are you affected by the amount of change and challenge in your environment? Are you feeling the need to perform in not the easiest of conditions? This is part two of Performing Under Pressure Week, where we will examine how we look at pressure, what’s known as our default appraisal of pressure - and how this default appraisal – this way we look at pressure  - has a huge impact on our ability to deal with pressure. This week is inspired by Performing Under Pressure, our NY Times bestselling book and crystallizes the major findings and strategies in the book (https://www.amazon.ca/Performing-Under-Pressure-Science-Matters/dp/0804136726). If you are 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 get in our way.Follow us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook! We'd love to hear from you: here's a link to our listener survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CDVG53J.If you liked today’s session, review us on Apple podcasts!Each Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. on the Last 8% Project Facebook group, JP and his business partner Bill Benjamin go live to discuss resources and answer questions from the community.
