“As we talked about last time, the real miracle begins the moment you catch yourself. The moment you become aware that you have a choice, even when it feels like the freight train of reaction is already barreling down the tracks. THIS little opening is where all your power lives. And today, I want to go even deeper with you because once you understand what’s happening inside you, you can truly begin to master it.

Neurons fire. Neural pathways light up like a city grid. Signals are sent in a flash. Hormones and chemicals are unleashed into your bloodstream. Your body prepares for fight or flight, just as it did a thousand generations ago when survival meant running from a predator or defending yourself in a life-or-death clash. Back then, these biological reactions were lifesavers. Today? They’re more often a liability.

They’re a liability and occur when you’re standing in a boardroom or having a disagreement with your kids or spouse or driving down the roadway. Get this. Your body doesn’t know the difference between a tiger and a tense email. It reacts and prepares you the same way. Stanford’s Robert Sapolsky explains this in his groundbreaking research on stress.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

He points out the human stress response is beautifully designed for acute physical crises, but chronically misapplied to modern psychological ones (Sapolsky, 2004). That’s the mismatch we live with daily. And it’s WHY you must learn to master your response and to recognize the sequence before it sweeps you away! It’s one of the most important skills you could ever develop. Because there is a sequence! Yes, it happens fast.

Lightning fast. But it is still a sequence, and with practice, you can catch it. That’s why developing awareness is not just a nice idea, IT IS the difference between creating your best life and staying stuck in old cycles that don’t serve you. When you learn the principles I teach inside Create Your Best Life Using Einstein and Tesla’s Genius™, you actually retrain your brain and nervous system to respond differently!

You learn to reclaim the choice you forgot you had. Imagine you’re walking through the woods and a low branch snaps back into your face. Instinct takes over. You flinch, you throw up your arms, your heart pounds. That’s pure reaction. But life’s emotional ‘branches’ are not physical, they are perceived threats. They’re habits of mind and chemistry we can retrain if we know how.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

That is the work. That is the path. Without this understanding, most people get swept along. They fight battles they don’t need to fight. They say words they later regret. They carry stress in their bodies that slowly eats away at their health and happiness. The American Psychological Association has shown that chronic stress is directly linked to numerous health issues, from heart disease to impaired immune function.

Research from (APA, 2019). All because the old fight-or-flight circuits were never updated for the modern world. I’ve seen it happen again and again. Good, intelligent people lose relationships, careers, opportunities, not because they aren’t talented, but because they never learned how to manage what happens inside them. They never learned the formula for self-mastery and success.

They react when they could respond. They live by default when they could live by design. But those who do learn, oh, the difference it makes. I once worked with a client who had been known for his temper. ‘It’s who I am,’ he’d say. But when he committed to the practices, I now share inside Create Your Best Life Using Einstein and Tesla’s Genius™, something amazing happened. He didn’t just suppress his anger.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

He rewired his responses at the source! In less than six months, people said he was unrecognizable, calmer, happier, more magnetic. New opportunities came flooding into his life because he wasn’t driving people away with old unconscious behaviors. And you know what? It didn’t take a lifetime or a mountain of money. It took a willingness to step onto the right path and a small investment compared to the cost of staying stuck.

How much is your peace of mind, your success, your joy worth? Probably far more than the small commitment required to finally unlock your true potential. Emotional flooding feels overwhelming when you’re caught in it. Your skin tingles, your heart races, your vision narrows. You ‘see red’ or feel your chest tighten. But when you can notice, truly notice, that flooding starting, you create a new possibility.

You create a brief moment where you can pause, breathe, and pivot. That tiny pivot is where your future is reborn. As Harvard’s Dr. Daniel Siegel describes, ‘naming’ our feelings genuinely calms the emotional brain and restores higher function (Siegel, 2010). Awareness interrupts the automatic chain reaction. Awareness buys you time. And time buys you freedom. The choice is always yours. THE CHOICE IS YOURS ALONE!

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Will you keep living as a 21st-century cave person, reacting to every perceived threat? Or will you evolve, consciously, into the empowered creator you were born to be? The beauty is, no matter how many times you’ve reacted poorly in the past, the opportunity to shift is always now. When you know the formula, when you have the tools, transformation can be easier, faster, and more joyful than you ever imagined.
