It's a mode where you are reacting without thinking.” - <strong>Dr. Eugene Choi</strong></p> <p>“Research shows that emotional pain can be just as painful as physical pain. That's how our brain processes it.” - <strong>Dr. Eugene Choi</strong></p> <p>“Money is an easy trigger for us to go into a survival state…” - <strong>Dr. Eugene Choi</strong></p> <p>“If you want to be a great leader, the number one you need to do is to understand the concept of true ownership.” - <strong>Dr. Eugene Choi</strong></p> <p>“It's the loneliness that's causing the burnout. How lonely you feel directly correlates with how burnt out you get.”  - <strong>Dr. Eugene Choi</strong></p> <p>“We have to develop the eyes to see what fight-flight-freeze looks like. That actually helps you connect the dots on why we're in this for 70% of our adult life.” - <strong>Dr. Eugene Choi</strong></p> <p>“So how do we fight from an emotional survival standpoint? It could be perfectionism, which is to fight to be perfect.” - <strong>Dr. Eugene Choi</strong></p> <p>“The fight itself will lead to burnout. I have seen it time and time again, fighting always leads to burnout, it always leads to lack of fulfillment.” - <strong>Dr. Eugene Choi</strong></p> <p><strong>TIME STAMPS</strong></p> <p><strong>TOPIC: Talking About the Different States of Your Brain</strong></p> <p>03:20 - 04:40</p> <p><strong>TOPIC: Talking About the Significant Source of Burnout</strong></p> <p>12:14 - 13:20</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/nonprofitlowdown/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/nonprofitlowdown/support</a>
