How to Use Meditation for Super Performance | Emily Fletcher

Hi, friends. I'm Emily Fletcher, founder of Ziva Meditation. And even though I've had the incredible pleasure of teaching all around the world, I've taught at Google and Harvard Business school and over 4,000 people to meditate, it was not always like this. Before I found meditation, I actually suffered from 18 months of insomnia. I was on Broadway for 10 years and the insomnia started leading to stress, which started leading to going gray and really, to be honest, sucking at my job. And it was really confusing to me why I was living my dream and everything wasn't sunshine and roses. And when I found this practice, it transformed my performance in my life so dramatically and so quickly that I really felt inspired and compelled to be able to share it with others. So I left Broadway, went to India, started a three year training process, and then I opened up Ziva Meditation. And I'm so excited to have you join me for this webinar that Vishen and I are doing together. In it, I share some of my favorite tools, some of my favorite tips to help move you out of fight or flight and into stay and play. And this, to me, is one of the most beautiful benefits of meditation, really. To get rid of stress in your nervous system so that you can perform at the top of your game, so that you can get rid of all the stress that gets stored in your cellular memory and use your full mental and physical energy for the task at hand. And the ripple effect of this is incredible. It leads to better sex, better sleep, better parking, karma, better work performance, and the list sort of goes on and on. Doctors are calling stress the black plain plague of our century. And I don't think that that's an overestimation. Stress is responsible for over 90% of doctors visits. And so while you might think that your stress is helping you or you might think that your stress gives you that competitive edge, I'm here to let you know that stress makes you stupid. And I talk all about the neuroscience of why during the webinar. So be sure to mark your calendar so you don't miss this special opportunity. And after you do that, download the workbook, because I'm going to walk you through some specific exercises and you'll want the workbook to go with me. I'm so excited to share all these techniques and tools with you. They've really been life changing for me, and I look forward to seeing you on the webinar. Bye.
