“Go back in your mind. Let’s continue the exercise from the last blog. Go back.  Rewind one of those moments. Not your biggest blowout, just a mild one. Maybe it was a conversation that turned sideways. A disappointment that knocked the wind out of you. One of those everyday moments when, for a brief second, you felt like you lost your footing, emotionally, mentally.

Now sit in your mental theater and watch it unfold, like a film. The story is moving forward, and then you see it, that moment. The very point where you used to tighten, to shrink, to snap, to spiral. Pause the movie right there. And this time, see yourself breathe. A big, deep, powerful inhale. And a sigh on the exhale. Now do it again. And again. Watch that you on the inner screen deliberately shift your breathing. Take a pause.

In that moment, right there, you’ve changed the trajectory of the entire experience. You didn’t fight the emotion. You didn’t ignore it. You used it. You redirected it. Just like Aikido, you guided the energy without resistance, and now, the outcome is different. Now imagine the same experience but this time see it from your eyes, hear with your ears, feel it. Be in the experience. See, hear or feel the ‘trigger’ and shift.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Mentally rehearse the scenario where you would have gotten stuck but this time you become aware, remember to shift, and you do shift. Take a deep breath. Interrupt the trigger, the pattern. Break the states and shift into the new one through your breathing change. Sigh. Let it go. Do this repeatedly to practice it and wire it in. You can go back and forth between the experience & the movie screen adjusting.

Make it better and better. Feel the change. See yourself how you look on the movie screen when you go from less than resourceful, or stuck, to breaking the old state and moving into a resourceful one. This isn’t a theory. This is neurobiology. You can feel and experience it if you will just do it. And if you practice it you can get good at it and wire it in as a new, positive, powerful skill. Plus, research backs it up, of course.

Research published in Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience shows that conscious breathwork, paired with intentional physical shifts in posture, increases activity in the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for executive function, wise decision-making, and emotional regulation (Goldin et al., 2012). You don’t just feel better.’ You think better. You choose better. You become better.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

But of course, most people don’t rehearse this. They don’t create the mental playbook in advance. So, when the moment hits, they fall back into habit. That habit of reacting instead of responding. And then it’s all too familiar. The regret. The clean-up. The apology. The emotional hangover. Imagine if you never practiced fire drills but expected to keep your cool in a burning building. Doesn’t work that way.

But it does work when you train your nervous system before the storm hits. And that’s the beauty of this simple, powerful exercise. You rehearse success emotionally, mentally, and physically. You step into your power before the chaos ever begins. I once worked with a woman who was terrified of public speaking. Even introducing herself in a group would send her into a panic.

She’d rehearse everything that could go wrong, the words she’d forget, the judgment she’d feel. So we reversed the process. I had her mentally rehearse walking to the front of the room, breathing deeply, standing tall, and feeling calm confidence rush through her. Day after day she rehearsed it. And then one day, she got up and did it for real. Not flawlessly. But powerfully. That moment changed her life.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

And the truth is—those who don’t take the time to do this work continue to live by default, not design. They keep having the same conversations, the same arguments, the same internal battles. Their life remains a loop. Like driving with one foot on the gas and one foot on the brake, they burn out and go nowhere. But those who do this work, the ones who invest the time to learn, to rehearse, to reprogram…

… those people move mountains. They shift their inner world, and the outer world follows. They go from reacting to responding, from frustration to flow, from stuck to soaring. And often, the shift begins with nothing more than a breath. The Create Your Best Life Using Einstein and Tesla’s Genius™ course is built for this very purpose. Breathing in the storm creates the calm that comes after it. It changes everything.

I show you how to create that break state, how to install new beliefs, how to wire success into your nervous system. It’s not another course. It’s not fluff.
