Study Notes
Flip the Script
- "Flip the Script" is a habit that focuses on changing the course of action and trajectory of one's life by taking responsibility for actions and setting a plan in motion.
- If you always do what has always been done, nothing changes.
The America's Cup
- The New York Yacht Club successfully defended the America's Cup for 132 years.
- The Australia II won the race on September 26, 1983, with a 41-second margin, breaking the 132-year streak.
Winning the America's Cup
- The Australian team's skipper, Mike Fletcher, created a recording of the Australian team winning the race, including narration and sounds of a sailboat.
- Each team member listened to the recording twice a day, every day, for three years before the race.
- The team had mentally won the race 2190 times before they even set sail.
Winning the Day
- To achieve a goal, you need to deliberately take steps towards it, creating a ripple effect that you can build on.
- Well-defined goals allow you to measure progress and course correct as needed.
- Intentional effort requires near maximal effort, which is neither fun nor easy.
Improving Health
- Improving health requires effort, putting yourself outside of your comfort zone or just beyond your ability.
- An estimated 80% of daily thoughts are negative, which can sabotage progress through negative self-talk.
Overcoming Negative Self-Talk
- To "flip the script" and overcome negative self-talk, you need to rehearse a different story, like the crew of Australian II.
- You need to tune out negative self-talk and create a new narrative.
