Keeping Calm When The Heat Is On

May 13, 2020 • Episode 8

In this episode of The Unnormal Show, Claire and Sam walk you through their favorite practices for keeping cool in the midst of life's most challenging situations. They include tactical practices that you can use on the spot for immediate "coolness", as well as "conscious struggle" techniques to practice keeping calm amidst discomfort when the stakes are low so that you can kick ass with ease when the stakes are high.
