Have you lost your job or hit a setback? Are you having trouble taking some action? Today, in our second of two episodes, we focus on helping you craft a plan that includes: creating a structure, finding meaning and identity, and being resilient. 

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.
