Hi my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

When things are really going haywire, how do you center yourself?

And I learned very early in my business career that there was a bunch of us at

awareness technologies that were given the same spiel.

Don't think of yourself as an employee, think of yourself as a partner, if you act like a partner and you know achieve certain results while I should make you a partner.

And nobody did it. And so I was just like, why am I the only one that's doing this? And I realized that my ability to self-sooth was a huge part of that. So other people would get upset, they would derail, they would take their eye off what they wanted to achieve because they were frustrated or whatever and I could just

bring myself back to center. Now those are pretty small tests and obviously as things have gone on you start

dealing with big numbers you start to realize is

this real can I actually center myself when you know say hundreds of millions of

dollars are at stake and then it's like okay okay, this still works.

And that was very encouraging, very encouraging,

because when you get a test that's sort of way beyond

where you've been tested before, you're like,

how's this going to work?

The big thing for me was recognizing

that I'm having a biological experience

and that I need to understand the brain,

like the brain, not just the mind,

which is incredibly important, but the brain not just the mind which is incredibly important but the brain

what is the brain doing how does it hijack me what is neurochemistry what triggers

it like what are all the things that evolution is sort of prime me to do?

It's what I call the physics of being human.
