Emotional intelligence and leadership
"Emotional intelligence is a way of recognising, understanding, and choosing how we think, feel, and act. It shapes our interactions with others and our understanding of ourselves.

Flow is described as a state where body, mind and environment converge to reach the ultimate state of effortless engagement. [...]
Buying vegetables won’t make you healthy…
you have to eat them as well. I can think of so many examples: buying business or self-help books without actually reading them, acquiring a bike and never riding it...the gym membership...the household budget... Whilst none of these statements are very profound they do highlight the need for action and the merits of personal accountability.
