Our VPE Pro Tem, Kelly, Gave the Learning Minute. "What is the one part of the body that doesn’t lie? Our face! We can wear a smile, but whatever we feel will show through if we are not aware of it. The good news is we can tell our brain how we want to feel. Exercise. Take a deep breath and add on a phrase such as I feel confident or I feel excited."
