Description
Do you get enough sleep? Do you get high quality sleep? How is it affecting your performance and happiness each day? In this episode, the first of a two part series on sleep, we look at how sleep should be viewed as exercise for our brain with many benefits that help us be our best in our most challenging moments. Let’s walk! 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.Follow us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook!
