  • Why is NEGATIVE MOOD such a deterrent to our BRAIN?

    “The tricky thing about your brain is that, once a negative mood takes over, you lose sight of what’s good in your life, and suddenly you hate your job, you’re frustrated with family and friends, you’re dissatisfied with your accomplishments, and your optimism about the future goes out the window. Deep down, you know that things aren’t as bad as they seem, but your brain just won’t hear it.”

    Adopted from Travis Bradberry’s book Emotional Intelligence 2.0

    This is why we should not entertain NEGATIVE mood and remain in good spirits..

  • This is the JOURNEY of our HABIT FORMATION..

    “This process within our brains is a three-step loop. First, there is a cue, a trigger that tells your brain to go into automatic mode and which habit to use. Then there is the routine, which can be physical or mental or emotional. Finally, there is a reward, which helps your brain figure out if this particular loop is worth remembering for the future.”

  • How is CHARISMA different from being ENERGETIC?

    “Charisma has nothing to do with energy; it comes from a clarity of WHY. It comes from absolute conviction in an ideal bigger than oneself. Energy, in contrast, comes from a good night’s sleep or lots of caffeine. Energy can excite. But only charisma can inspire. Charisma commands loyalty. Energy does not.”

    Adopted from Simon Sinek’s book Leaders Eat last
