OUR CHAPTER SITE: www.sigmaalphapi2011.blogspot.com (It is to your benefit to use it!)
At this chapter we watched a broadcast my Mel Robbins. I personally liked it alot. Here are a few things we all learned. Firstly, She described about our five feelings of our emergency brake. That is when you have an idea and you have about five seconds to deal with it or your brain takes over and makes you feel like not doing it. There is the feeling of being overwhelmed, which she told us to use the brain dump technique. There is the feeling of being tired......... She also explained how you never feel like doing it now, you usually want to do it later. She described to us how you just have to screw yourself over, by setting early deadlines with someone so that there is no question whether or not it will be done on time. The fourth feeling she described was the feeling of uncertainty. In today’s world there are thousands of options to pick from and it can be really hard. In the end, you need to just pick and move on. The last feeling she described was the feeling of being alone. Mel told us about the eye contact game. All you have to do is make eye contact with three random people throughout your day and give them a smile. As you witness their reaction you might notice you have changed their day, or if you keep doing it eventually you will notice it. Also in Mel’s broadcast she debunked the question of what do you want? Mel wants our answer to be specific, selfish and embarrassing. Go out and find a spokesperson to model your life around and ask your self in those times of feeling, say what would Albert Einstein do (he is just an example).
