The Eplerian Life Philosophy is “know who you are moment by moment” which means knowing where you’re thinking from, and that is who you are. There are five locations to think and feel from including the head, heart, gut, body, and the mind. Limit thinking from the head anger and stress centers to less than ten seconds. Feel from the heart with kindness to yourself and others. Be in the mind to solve problems and help others. The Eplerian Life Philosophy is for people who want to improve their lives by being their true authentic self for living their best lives at home, at work, and in the community.
