Get Your Emotions in Check

- Monitor your time. Reduce reaction times and set limits each time you practice. Remind yourself to do it in a shorter amount of time. Be honest and monitor how long it took.
- Make your impact. Control your emotions, gain the skills you need and move towards your goals.
