The Struggle Switch - From Negative to Positive
Please allow me to introduce you to a very simple mindfulness concept which I think can be a game changing outlook to those who take it on board.
Luckily, some people are already using this approach in life unbeknownst to themselves.
Imagine two footballers in a changing room before going out on the field for a training session. It’s lashing rain outside but the coach plans for the session to go ahead anyway.
Player A (who has their struggle switch turned on) says to themselves – ‘why do I have to train in this rubbish weather, it’s awful, why can’t it just be good for once? I should have stayed comfy at home and just watched Frasier.’
Player B (who lives a less stressed life, has their struggle switch off and is not fighting the reality) – ‘It’s raining, so be it. It will be good fun, sliding around on the pitch and getting stuck in. Sure I’ll need to have a shower after training anyway so what harm is a bit of rain…’
Which person would you prefer to be? Which person will have a more positive impact on their teammates? Which person is more likely to enjoy training?
Turning off our struggle switch and not fighting against the reality of uncontrollable situations can be a great contributor to improved health and wellness.
If I can help you or your company to improve on the area of cultivating a healthier lifestyle then please don’t hesitate to contact [email protected] or check out www.performancetreanor.com to get going 😊
