Do you sometimes find that you get overwhelmed with strong emotions? Unable to think straight? Engulfed by the situation and not sure what to do next? Well, you are not alone. Many people feel this way. This is the start of Emotional Management Week where will explore what Emotional Management is, why it is important and how we can increase it.

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.
