Spring brings back memories for Hallie about her love of lacrosse, so we start this week by discussing how sports are a great way to start teaching kids about leadership. Then, we talk about the act of noticing: what it really means, what happens when we go through life without noticing, and where to even begin. We also talk about why the worst time for people to make decisions is when they are in an emotionally disturbed state, even if that disturbed state is positive. When you notice your emotions and share them, you can let go of the outcome and step more into the flow.

[4:38] Sports can teach our kids important lessons about leadership. Even if they don’t go on to become professional athletes, they can still learn so much from interacting with their teammates, learning how to consistently show up, and what it looks like to be a good team player.
[7:30] The worst time for you to make a decision is when you are in an emotionally disturbed state, whether that’s a positive or negative one. The stimulation causes a disturbance and takes away our clarity.
[13:13] Self-awareness and noticing are linked together. The more you start to notice, the more aligned you will be.
[14:22] Noticing doesn’t mean not feeling your emotions. It means observing them and learning how to share them and move through them.
[15:35] The whole point of noticing is to stay in our flow or the dharma of life. This is also where the best decision-making comes from too.
[24:08] Hallie talks about sharing her emotions, and how it enabled the acute feelings to pass quicker. You can also share them by saying them out loud or writing them in a journal.
[26:48] When you just notice it, you allow it to go through you.
[31:24] Hallie and I share how to start small with noticing. Maybe it’s noticing your feelings while driving, while on the phone, or at a party. Notice what comes up for you without trying to judge it or assign meaning to it.
