Emotional Intelligence Week: What is Self-Awareness and Why Does it Matter?

How self-aware are you? If you are like most people, you think you are pretty self-aware, but, according to the best research we have, you probably are not. This is Emotional Intelligence Week: Self-awareness Part One, where we will explore self-awareness so it can become one of our super powers. Today, we start with: what is self-awareness and why does it matter?

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.
