Monthly Quote
“Feeling is what matters to us, it’s what connects us at a deep level, words are just insufficient clumsy cognitive tools to express how we really feel.”
Heather Berlin
TEDxKC “What would a conscious AI look like?”
Coach’s Corner
Feelings.
Just when we think we have things in hand, our Emotions hijack our Focus and Cognitive abilities…
Mental. Emotional. Physical. They Cannot be Separated
Processes, Tools, and Methods:
-
Our Physical to raise our Emotional
-
Our Emotional to help us relax Physically
-
Our Mental to keep Emotional in line
When we start the next point we need to be:
Physically Relaxed, Mentally Focused, and Emotionally Positive.
