Hey Jordan Harbinger here from the Art of Charm. Welcome to Miniso Monday. This is your weekly shot

of personal development espresso and I'm happy to be here with you kicking off the week with

something quick and actionable that you can implement right away that'll make you more magnetic

and effective. Today we're back with Commander Chris Hadfield who was on the show recently

discussing well everything from living in space for six months to the mindset of an astronaut.

There's a little bit of extra tape we had about him going blind in space while outside the shuttle

on a spacewalk and what he learned from that. During my first spacewalk we were outside building a

huge robot part of the outside of the space station real complicated procedure and nothing was

going as planned and while I was working away suddenly one of my eyes started hurting really

bad and snap shut started tearing up and I couldn't see out of it anymore. What do you do? I can't

rub it because it's inside my helmet. I'm out there on a spacewalk. I got unlimited amount of time.

It's kind of like well I could still see out of my other eye so that's probably why I got a backup

eye you know. It's like we got two ears you know two eyes so I just kept working but the trouble is

our bodies are designed for gravity and the reason that your eye tears up partially is because

it flushes whatever the contaminant is that's in your eye it's a modified sweat gland actually

that's up underneath your eyelid but it's a very complex chemical mixture that comes out that's

the actual liquid of your tears but it comes into your eyeball and then it drains and it either

drains down your cheek or in your little tear duct and out your nose and that's why your nose runs

but it's like a little waterfall but without gravity it doesn't go anywhere. This contaminated

water just sat there on my eye and got bigger and bigger ball of contaminated water. Unfortunately

until it got so big that it flowed across the bridge of my nose into my other eye and then both

my eyes were contaminated and blinded and now I couldn't see it all. So there I am my first
