Friday Fix: Episode 121

Your emotions affect how you think and how you behave. Yet, most of us spend very little time thinking about how we’re feeling. And we often don’t even recognize how our emotional state impacts our performance.

The good news is, we have some control over how we feel. That means we have the power to put ourselves in an emotional state that can work toward our advantage at any given moment.

We also may be in danger of allowing ourselves toget into an emotional statethat hinders our performance or makes it harder to enjoy the moment.

So on today’s Friday Fix, I explain how getting yourself in the best emotional state can help you get the most out of life. Whether you’re aboutto give a big presentationor you’re about to read your kids a goodnight story, getting in the right emotional state for each circumstance can help you think, feel, and do your best.
