The emotional regulation is funny.

I was just interviewing a neuroscientist slash brain surgeon.

He's an expert in both areas.

So he studies the brain and the mind, right?

The thoughts.

And after this two hour conversation,

The whole thing came down to the number one skill to have is the ability to emotionally regulate your feelings and how thoughts, the brain and the mind are connected to feelings and the ability to emotionally regulate them.

Not saying that you're not gonna have wide range of emotions, but the ability to regulate

Under pressure under stress so that you can get into flow that you can get back to your yeah Your mission your vision and not be in chaos mode, you know, you can defend yourself Rationally essentially in times of chaos and he said that's kind of what it comes down to if I could teach a skill it'd be the skill of emotional regulation and I think the farther we try to strive to unlock our potential

the more we need to learn that, because the more people are going to be coming at us, it sounds like.

Dangerous of all, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Is that Tim Grover?

Yes, Tim Grover.

It's like the most dangerous of all.

Yeah, because being emotional and reacting, you're gonna fall out.

Dang it.

You're gonna do something stupid.

Correct.

Which I did many times in multiple sports.

And then you learn the lesson, oh, my emotional reaction gets me on the bench.
