Description
We’re going to do something different this week. In Finding Our Voice Week, we will use these three podcasts to reflect and pause on our response to the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis by police, and the long history of systemic racial oppression. It may seem strange for a morning routine to venture into what follows but know: our mission is founded on the belief that we are all capable of personal transformation. Indeed it is only by facing the difficult that we can transform, and it is only personal transformation that can help us see clearly and make change happen in society. We start today by facing the world as it is and seeing if we can use that to break us open to move from being non-racist to anti-racist.Moving from education to action, we look to Justice in June, an amazing guide put together by Autumn Gupta with Bryanna Wallace: https://docs.google.com/document/u/2/d/1H-Vxs6jEUByXylMS2BjGH1kQ7mEuZnHpPSs1Bpaqmw0/mobilebasic?fbclid=IwAR27Hbl0fWAHrWQVo1JFSmeN-7InRVgH8Ljm1YRATGj-9mMgQ-o3o_RZ5j0If 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!
