“Last time we talked about catching that emotional boulder just as it starts to roll. You remember? That powerful metaphor of being right there at the top of the hill. Not five steps down, not too late, but right there where a gentle nudge could change everything. That’s where you reclaim your power! And now, let’s talk about how you keep that power. How you turn that moment into momentum IN a whole new direction.

Choice is the magic key. The real transformation happens when you realize that no matter what’s going on outside of you, no matter the trigger, the pressure, the people, you still have a say in how you experience it all. When you decide, and make a true conscious decision, your whole internal world begins to follow. Your body, your brain, your chemistry, they all reorganize to match that decision. Think of it this way:

You’re in a car speeding toward a cliff. You realize what’s happening, so you gently steer away. No crash. No drama. Just a shift. The car follows the wheel. You are the driver. And this is where that pause comes in. That little moment of space between stimulus and response. ‘Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.’

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

That was Viktor Frankl’s quote. He said that space is the pause. That breath. That decision to not go down the old road again. Get it? The brain’s wiring isn’t fixed. That’s old news. Now we know, thanks to research from Dr. Michael Merzenich and others in the field of neuroplasticity, that the brain constantly rewires itself based on what we do and think repeatedly. You can read this all you want, but you need to experience it.

If you keep choosing that pause, you’re literally carving out a new neural pathway, like building a fresh trail through the forest, one step at a time. And that trail, that new address you’re headed toward, becomes clearer and easier with each visit. Just like when you move into a new house, at first, you might still turn toward your old neighborhood out of habit. But before long, the new route is second nature. Get this!

That’s what happens inside your brain when you keep choosing calm over chaos, presence over panic, breath over brawl. Most people don’t know this. They don’t learn the formula. They just keep running the old scripts. I had a student once; she told me every relationship she had ended the same way. ‘It always blows up,’ she said. But when we worked together, she learned how to find that pause.

In doing that she learned how to redirect the flood instead of being swept by it, everything changed. Her energy softened. Her voice changed. She started responding, not reacting. Now she’s thriving, and, yes, in a healthy relationship. It wasn’t therapy. It wasn’t years of struggle. It was awareness and application. It was learning how to use what’s already inside you.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

That’s why I created ‘Create Your Best Life Using Einstein and Tesla’s Genius™,’ to give you the tools, the practices, and the understanding you need to do this in your own life. To stop guessing and start living with purpose. And here’s the best part: it doesn’t take years. You don’t need to wait until you’ve hit bottom. You just need the willingness to breathe, to notice, and to choose again. And again. And again.

Because here’s what’s true: just because you got hot doesn’t mean you have to act on it. Just because the old route is familiar doesn’t mean it’s where you need to go. That part of you that wants to lash out, to fight, to flee, it’s trying to protect you the only way it knows how. But it’s operating on an outdated map. You’re building a new one. You mist replace the old with the new. You know, out with the old… in with the new.

When you pause, when you breathe, when you move, actually move your body or shift your posture, you’re interrupting the old pattern. You’re shifting your state. You’re giving yourself a new option. As Dr. Alan Watkins explains in his work on coherence, controlling your breath regulates your emotional state, which then restores your cognitive function. You go from reactive to resourceful. And that’s worth everything!!!

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Because it means you’re no longer the victim of your emotions, you’re their guide. So yes, you might occasionally find yourself turning toward that old emotional residence. That’s okay. No shame, no blame. It’s just a habit. And habits can be changed. When you recognize that moment, smile. Celebrate it. You’ve caught yourself. That’s a win. Now choose the new route. And each time you do, it gets easier.

Remember, you’ve lost nothing. You still know the way back if you ever need it. But you don’t. Not anymore. You’ve got a new home now. A better one. Brighter. Calmer. More aligned with who you really are and what you want in this life. Travel there often. Make it yours. That’s what we do together in the course. I’d love to help you move in fully, joyfully, powerfully. Let’s wire in genius, not just of Einstein and Tesla, but your own.

You’ve already begun. That pause you took today. That breath? That was the beginning of everything. Celebrate it. Be proud. And keep going. IN the course I’ll show you how to lock it in, so it becomes your new normal. After that, we’ll explore how to build a mindset so flexible and strong, you always know what to do next, no matter what life throws your way. Meanwhile, breathe. Smile. You’re doing better than you think. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
