This is a phrase that we purposefully recite in almost every note that we write. We do this because you can sum up our teaching in that one command, “Flip the Switch”.
Mental training is that easy, and that hard! To be happy and successful this is the only thing that we need to do, “flip the switch”. When? As emotions and circumstances outside of your control arise, moment-to-moment, day-by-day, for the rest of your life! The process is simple:
This is what we refer to when we say “Flip the Switch”! You will never be exonerated from this process. And that’s a good thing because in this process is where you will find happiness, joy, confidence, and eudaimonia. Eudaimonia is an emotion you may not have heard of but it’s what we are all after it is what Aristotle called “the summon bonum” or highest good. You will shine with radiant enthusiasm when your primary purpose is all about high-fiving your inner soul and more consistently expressing the best version within yourself. Experiencing Eudaimonia is the process of “flipping the switch”!
All the inspirational stories, pre-game speeches, ancient wisdom, scientific studies that you will learn in this course and have already heard again and again throughout your life are designed to encourage you to “flip the switch”!
However, before you can “flip the switch” you must do the pre-emptive work.
Continue this process, moment-to-moment, day-by-day, for the rest of your life! The more you practice, the more you will see the benefits. Now, when you celebrate noticing moments of awareness, you will notice that your initial response more closely resembles your most empowered response. “Flipping the switch” will become less dramatic as you spiral-up into the best version of yourself. You will experience higher highs and lower lows. As you continue the process new levels of happiness will open that you never dreamed possible.
