What To Do About That Voice In Our Head? Strategies to Stop The Fight - a podcast by Dr. JP Pawliw-Fry, Mindfulness and Emotional Intelligence Expert

Do you find that you sometimes get overwhelmed with the voice in your head (VOH)? That incessant critic that fills us with doubt and undermine’s our confidence and courage? That gets in the way of your performance and leadership?

Today, we look at the VOH and try to understand thoughts for what they are, so they have less of hold on us and so we can live more at ease and create the life we desire.
Let's walk!

"In any case, the point is not to try to get rid of thoughts, but rather to see their true nature. Thoughts will run us around in circles if we buy into them, but really they are like dream images. They are like an illusion-not really all that solid. They are, as we say, just thinking.''
Pema Chodron

"Not causing harm requires staying awake. Part of being awake is slowing down enough to notice what we say and do. The more we witness our emotional chain reactions and understand how they work, the easier it is to refrain. It becomes a way of life to stay awake, slow down, and notice.''
Pema Chodron

"Our lives are fashioned by our choices.  First we make our choices.  Then our choices make us."
Ann Frank


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.
