You’ve been there before. You’ve felt that slow boil turbulence inside. The pressure builds behind your eyes, heat in your chest, the voice rising in your mind saying, ‘Don’t lose it,’ while every cell in your body feels like it’s two seconds from erupting. ‘Don’t go there,’ you think. Whether it’s a difficult conversation, a stressful moment at work, or that one person who just knows how to push your buttons…

… YOU feel it. And in that moment, it feels like you’ve got no control. But you do! The difference between those who thrive and those who merely survive isn’t that you never feel anger, frustration, or stress. It’s that you know how to respond when those feelings rise. You know how to catch the moment before it owns you. You don’t suppress it. You redirect it. Like in Aikido, you don’t fight force with force.

You blend, you steer, and suddenly, what feels like an incoming wave becomes energy you can guide toward something better. Is that how you respond, or are you more like the person who doesn’t? I ask because most people try to force change in the heat of the moment. They grit their teeth, white-knuckle it, and try to muscle through. That rarely works. The momentum of emotion is too strong.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

But what if you didn’t have to fight it head-on? What if you could just shift? Just like driving, you don’t slam a car from reverse into drive. You pass through neutral. That neutral state, that moment of pause, is your access point to real transformation. It’s the difference between reacting out of habit and responding from power. And the gateway to neutral is simple: your breath. It’s an important part of the Attitude Activator™

It’s not just poetic. It’s physiological. A study in Frontiers in Psychology (Jerath et al., 2015) showed that slow, deep breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, your body’s natural calm-down button. That breath, especially when paired with a soft sigh, tells your brain and body: ‘We’re safe,’ or ‘You’ve got this.’ It’s not woo-woo. It’s wiring. The problem is most people never practice it until the storm hits.

That’s like waiting until the house is on fire before learning how to use the extinguisher. The key to mastery is mental rehearsal. You train your brain to respond wisely before the chaos hits. Just like athletes don’t only train during the game, you rehearse in advance, so when life throws you the curve, you swing with grace. You need to learn to breathe like a champion. I’ve coached countless thousands.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Some learned to breathe through the moment and took charge of their lives. Others dismissed it as too simple, too silly. But the truth is, transformation often IS simple, it’s just not always easy without guidance. One man I worked with was at the edge, years of built-up frustration, biting back at everyone in his life. He thought he needed complicated therapy or to escape his job and his family.

What he really needed was a pause, a new lens, and a few minutes a day to recalibrate his emotional habits. He didn’t believe me at first. But he practiced. He rehearsed. And he changed. Today, he leads a team, has deeper relationships, and shows up grounded and strong. He didn’t change the world—he changed how he met the world. This is why the Einstein Course formula exists.

You don’t need another life hack. You need a system, a method, a mentor who’s walked the path and can help you retrain how you think, feel, and act, so success becomes your default setting, not your occasional outcome. There are those who keep pushing forward, tense and tight, hoping life will someday ease up. They wait. But time doesn’t reward waiters. It rewards deciders.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

There are also those who decide to learn the skills, embody the mindset, and apply the formula. They don’t ask if it works, they make it work. And life responds in kind. So, here’s your breath. Take it. Pause. And now ask yourself: What kind of person do I want to be? Because your answer doesn’t just shape today. It shapes everything. Join me today. See the link below. Learn. Rehearse. Change. This is the way of the winner.  This is how you become the one who others look to and say, ‘They always keep their cool. They always rise.’ More next time. Celebrate it all. Even this moment. Especially this moment. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
