Description
With season one over, we're looking back at our favourite episodes. The past few months have radically changed the we talk about race and policing across the world. It is no longer enough to be non-racist, we must be actively anti-racist in the fight to vanquish the systemic injustice and oppression experienced by BIPOC (Black, Indigenous & People of Colour). This is an issue that calls all of us in - in particular those of us who are White - to reflect and change our behaviour, as well as divest ourselves from the immeasurable benefits - financial or otherwise - we have because of the histories of and ongoing exploitation based on race. This week, we are re-releasing Finding Our Voice Week, where we use these three podcasts to reflect and pause on our response to the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis by police, and the long history of systemic racial oppression.It may seem strange for a morning routine to venture into what follows but know: our mission is founded on the belief that we are all capable of personal transformation. Indeed it is only by facing the difficult that we can transform, and it is only personal transformation that can help us see clearly and make change happen in society. We start today by facing the world as it is and seeing if we can use that to break us open to move from being non-racist to anti-racist.If you are new to the Last 8% Morning, over the course of 15 minutes we integrate movement, mindfulness, and mental training exercises. Why? So we can build the skills necessary to be our best in our more difficult moments, what we call the Last 8%. What are these skills? These are skills of emotional intelligence. Why? We do this because it is emotion that get in our way.Follow us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook!
