“Stop calling it self-sabotage: It’s time to take control of your programming. I address this issue/nonissue in my book ‘Life on Your Terms’. Get it and read about it.

“While some may consider the following literal, I prefer to consider it allegory.

“There’s a meme going around that states, ‘The magnificent universe always provides abundantly when you’re in a state of gratitude.’ I disagree. The magnificent universe is always abundantly providing, BUT it’s only when you’re in a state of gratitude that you’re able to notice that and receive. The universe doesn’t change what it is doing.

“It’s not about figuring out the how, which is where so many people spend their time. Instead, it’s making sure you want it enough. If it’s not an obsession, but merely a desire it’s unlikely. If you really, really want it, you’ll end up doing it. It starts with desire. Then you add faith and […]
“Manifesting is all about attitude. To succeed in life and in manifesting a can-do, will-do, believe in yourself attitude. Attitude is everything. Take all the steps I’ve been sharing to develop a positive, happy, winning, champion attitude because it’s your attitude that sees you from darkness to light and from lack to abundance. It all originates from you. You are the originator of your reality.
Without a powerful optimistic, positive, hopeful, determined attitude little is possible. It is from within to without and without the right attitude you won’t persist. attitude is everything. People dismiss attitude thinking it’s a minor thing, but it is a major thing. It is your mood, your vibe. It’s everything. Your attitude determines your outlook. It’s how you feel.
Do you feel abundant, successful, happy, confident, peaceful? It’s the combination of your thoughts, beliefs and feelings. It’s the overall determining factor in whether you feel like you can and will do something or not. It’s the difference that makes the difference! Ford said, ‘whether you think you can or can’t, you are correct.’ Whether you feel you can or you can’t makes the difference.

Attitude is your predominant mood. Your predominant mindset. It determines how you think, feel, speak and behave. There is no substitute for a powerful, positive, optimistic attitude. If you understand this you also understand the statement, ‘if it’s to be, it’s up to me.’ You are a creator, attractor and manifestor already. Your attitude determines whether you create gold or crap, success or failure.

ATTITUDE IS THE NUMBER ONE PREDICTOR OF SUCCESS IN ALL AREAS OF YOUR LIFE!
“You must realize you are already an expert in manifesting. Perhaps, you manifest mostly crap, but you are so good at it. What you want to do and what you must do is take charge of your mind and feelings to steer yourself away from the crap and negativity and steer yourself into the positive. You do this so being positive becomes a habit. You do it to create a new habit and then the new habit creates you.
Accentuate the positive. Eliminate the positive. Refuse not to go into negative thinking. Stop going down the rabbit hole. Stop entertaining doubt, fear anxiety, depression and low vibe states. Refuse to perpetuate the negative. Release it and let it go. Put your attention and energy into accentuating, entertaining and perpetuating the positive. Affirm, assert, declare, chant, shout and exclaim it!
Direct your mind in the positive. Direct your mind towards what you can and will do. It’s a choice. You’ve got two possible roads to travel. Pick the one that’s best for you. It may seem difficult to release the negative, but you can do it. People overcome negative habits all the time. So can you. Practice what you want the most. That practice will eventually get you where you want to be. It gets easier.
DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF
Make up your mind that you are the master of your fate and the captain of your soul. It’s not the thoughts you think that’s in charge, it’s you. UNLESS of course you don’t take control. The one thing you can learn to master is yourself. Do it. Whenever you notice yourself thinking negatively or feeling negatively, acknowledge it, say thanks but no thanks and think positive or the opposite. Do this.
Soon you’ll get better and better at it. Soon you’ll notice changes. Soon you’ll feel much better. In doing all of this emphasize positivity, gratitude and you will produce more of it. You get back what you put out. The reason you’ve been negative or a crap magnet for so long is because you let it run on its own. Once you take charge everything begins to change. If you don’t believe you can, you won’t.
That may be the first step you take. Developing the faith in yourself that you can and will succeed at this and then keep doing it. You will. Use my Directed Questions™. Use the Attitude Activator™. Read Life On Your Terms and fill your mind with inspiration, positivity, optimism, enthusiasm and goodness. If you feed your mind the good stuff it will feed good stuff back. It is cause and effect. BE the cause!

ATTITUDE IS THE NUMBER ONE PREDICTOR OF SUCCESS IN ALL AREAS OF YOUR LIFE!
“I hope you read my article on the power of the mind to create both positive and negative results from the research done on the placebo. Notice the interesting thing about the case of Mr. Wright. Mr. Wright was reading the paper. When the paper proposed a ‘cure’ he begged his doctor for that ‘medicine.’ The doctor provided a placebo and he improved. This continued. Then read the cure was bogus.
Mr. Wright died. Consider the implications of this and social media and our media in general. When there’s a pandemic, epidemic or ANY bad news, what does this do to our mindset? How does it affect the consumer of bad news? Given today we are bombarded 24 hours a day. There’s no escaping it. People listen to negativity and fear mongering and internalize it. Placebo. Nocebo. It works. IT works!
Consider what happens with negative news, a disaster or a terrible personal or global event. People watch news all day long, talk about it, think about it, worry about it. They fill their minds with it. DO you think Mr. Wright is the exception? Do you? What we focus on expands. What we think about we bring about. Look at the media and all the news about hate and intolerance. People act on it.
Violence occurs when it’s promoted. Copycats exist. This research suggests that what you think about makes an incredible difference! The case of the young man who took an overdose of placebo pills and had the effect of an overdose as a result, demonstrates that what you think about as pro-vax or anti-vax matters. If you think it is beneficial, then likely it is. If you think it’s harmful, then likely it is.
Attitude IS The Number 1 Predictor For Success In All Areas Of Your Life
What we eat affects our bodies ability to generate health. What we consume mentally and emotionally affects our mind and bodies too. There are plenty of people who prove they believe and act on things that are not correct or are untrue but NOT for them. What you expect to find you most often will. If you think something is a problem or an irritant it most likely will be, whether it is or not. Get it?
People may argue this but we’ve lots of research suggesting this is accurate. People die because they think, believe and feel they will. People get healthier or heal because they think, feel and feel they will. Whether you think something may help you or harm you may make an incredible difference for you. That’s whether the ingredients are good or not-so-good for you. It’s the power of belief and attitude!
There are cases around the world where the ‘evil eye’ or a ‘voodoo curse’ is given to somebody, and that person becomes fearful. Some get sick. Some die. It may not be that sticking pins works but for the person who thinks it does, it does. Their reaction determines the outcome, whether a pill or curse has inert ingredients or active ingredients. People heal with placebos. People suffer nocebos.
Here’s the big news. Something can work or not work, and our beliefs can accompany the result. Get this. The attitude towards the ingredients, whether they’re active or inactive, or the procedure or treatment as in the study of the cancer patients demonstrated that attitude towards the treatment is the number one predictor of success. Think about this. Whatever you believe is MORE likely!
Attitude IS The Number 1 Predictor For Success In All Areas Of Your Life
Whatever you think will happen MORE likely will. That IS the attitude towards the treatment determines the success. Whether the treatment was useful or not, attitude made it useful. There’s a number of placebo studies demonstrating that people who have a placebo surgery, meaning they’re put under and nothing is done to them other than a small incision in the correct area and they experience healing.
They’ve done this on patients requiring knee surgery. Imagine this. They didn’t get the surgery, but they believe they did. Instead of having their knees replaced or fixed, they now walk and move and experience life without pain even when they’ve not had the treatment! This is an incredible power that we all have. We have the possibility to apply this power in our livesbecauseit’s a human power.
It’s the power of our beliefs. It’s the power of our convictions. It’s the power of our attitude. It’s the power of our expectations. It’s the power of the outcomes that we expect! Remember Job stated, ‘what I fear I’ve brought on myself.’ Jesus said, ‘ask, believing you have received and you will receive.’ Mindset matters. A positive, optimistic attitude that expects the best can be unstoppable. Understand?
BUT this Placebo Effect / Nocebo Effect demonstrates that if you don’t use it uses you. If you don’t develop the certainty, the positivity, the optimism in your expectations to move forward ahead successfully and happily with everything that you deserve and could have access to, then by default you’ll not have access to it. It truly seems to be either/or. You can’t sit on the fence.
Attitude IS The Number 1 Predictor For Success In All Areas Of Your Life
You can’t have one foot on the dock and the other on the boat. You must be all in to move forward. You can move forward using this incredibly powerful and transformative ability but it’s up to you to learn how to use it deliberately. You need to shape your attitude and expectation, making your mind like a laser and focus on the positive and believe in the outcome we want.
Unless we do, we live as victims. Learn how to use it. I’ve been arguing this for well over 40 years. Learn how to use it and you can become unstoppable. Invincible. You can become capable of doing many other things that you’ve never even thought of as possible. You can shape your destiny and shape your present by grabbing the power of this amazing principle and putting it to work for yourself.
Read my book. I discuss this there and teach it in many of my programs. I talk about it daily in different venues. Please learn how important this ability that we have is! It’s hidden for the most part. Science dismissed it for many years and now they’re coming around to understanding its true power. You need to do the same. Understand its power and begin to apply it in your life.
As you do you’ll begin to see incredible transformations occur. When you change your attitude and expectations everything changes because you’ve changed. Certainty is a powerful thing. Just ask Mr. Wright? Oops you can’t. Ask the young man who overdosed on inactive ingredients. Ask the people who gained muscle growth imagining their biceps growing. There are numerous studies to look into.
Attitude IS The Number 1 Predictor For Success In All Areas Of Your Life
There’s so much evidence of the power of mind. You can be certain something impossible will work out and it does. You can be certain something possible won’t work out and it doesn’t. Yes, sometimes you may get a different result. There are always counter examples. Still, the research demonstrates that what you focus on expands. It gets magnified whether it’s good or bad and friendly or fearful.
Stop living as a victim and begin living with choice. Choose how you want to be. Develop the certainty, the attitude, the beliefs to be happier, healthier, wealthier and more successful. Use your powerful positive attitude to see you through any difficulty. Then you are far more likely to make what you want happen. If it is to come true, it is up to you. Do nothing and nothing changes. You’ve as you have. More another time. Meanwhile, celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

“Many people complain about those family, friends, colleagues and even strangers that rain on their parade. They complain that people try to talk them out of making their dreams come true. They call them energy vampires or worse. They don’t like being told they can’t do something or that what they want to do won’t work out. They don’t want others talking doubts, fears and failure. They hate it.
Truth is, if you’re concerned someone can talk you out of your purpose, passion, vision or mission you harbor doubts and fears within. If you were certain, no one and nothing could stop you from taking positive steps to create more good for you and others. If you doubt you may succeed and listening to others causes you to falter, you already doubt yourself. Consider them a gift. Why? Because you know.
Now you can work on becoming convinced you can do it. You can work on making it a white-hot obsession that causes you to be unstoppable. You can eliminate the negative and accentuate the positive to make you mind like steel. Diamonds are fashioned under pressure. You’ve an opportunity to make needed adjustments so you are aligned, congruent, of one purpose, passion and power.
So yes, never let anyone talk you out of it AND THAT INCLUDES YOU. If it is truly good for you and the world around you, it causes no harm to you or others, then pursue it with everything you have. Most people talk themselves out of things before they even begin. They come up with reasons, really excuses for why they can’t and won’t do what is necessary to get ahead. STOP and be different.
Others are a reflection of you. Other people treat you like you treat yourself. You project onto others those things you’re unhappy with in yourself. Develop positive self-esteem and a positive self-image. Love yourself. When you accept yourself, others will accept you too. If they don’t, it won’t bother you because you love yourself and are big enough to love them too, without expecting it returned.
Love yourself. Accept yourself. Value yourself. Believe in yourself. Don’t rain on your own parade. STOP doing that. Now is the opportunity to change. If others can dissuade you, it’s because your’e not already convinced you will prevail. The opportunity to transform now is yours. Focus on what you want and decide to see it through. Develop your unstoppable attitude and passion and live with purpose, positivity and optimism. Find the good. Then no one, including yourself can ever rain on your parade. Get it? Make this happen. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Shocking studies demonstrate the power of your mind! Read the blog and the research:
“I’ve been arguing for the conscious application of the placebo effect for 40 years. I’ve been mocked in books and articles for suggesting you can use the power of your mind to make positive changes in your health, happiness, wealth and success. Attitude is everything. What you expect to happen opens the door for that very expectation to manifest. What you think about, you bring about. GET THIS!
It’s why I have written a daily blog for more than 10 years. It’s why I created the Attitude Activator™, Mind Design™ and other programs. You and I need to understand the incredible, usually untapped potential of our mindset which is our beliefs, our attitudes, our expectations. Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you are correct. You must develop a winner’s attitude to win. GET THIS!
Thinking makes it so. Believing makes it so. I’m not talking about fantasy thinking like wishing for an elephant to appear in your room. I’m talking about all those things within the laws of nature that you are capable of. People have done incredible things in moments of crisis because they tap into these inner reserves. People heal, become wealthy, attract love and live happier lives when they expect to.
I am sharing a few studies which demonstrate how powerful your mind, your attitude, your beliefs, your expectations, your thoughts are. Pay attention. I hope I convince you to do every positive thing you can to develop a positive, powerful, optimistic healthy attitude. Take charge of your thinking and you take charge of your life. Change your thinking and you can transform your life! GET THIS!
I’ll show you more and share more in upcoming blogs. If you’d like to learn more in the meantime get Life On Your Terms: Create The Life You Want.There are so many important studies, findings and applications for you to discover and use to create the health, wellbeing, wealth and success you want. As I’ve pointed out for more than 40 years we’ve great power to learn to use purposefully.
When I began this work more than 40 years ago there were handful of studies. Doctors routinely dismissed the Placebo Effect. Today, there’s more than 45,000 studies on the Placebo/Nocebo effect, the power of attitude and beliefs, visualization and creating wellness in your mind. Studies regarding weight lifting, piano playing and more. I discuss in my book. We’ve come a long way.
I can’t emphasize enough how important your attitude towards yourself, others and life is. What you think about you bring about. What you focus on expands. There are many examples of Nocebo Effects, or unwanted, undesirable effects occurring from negative attitudes, expectations and thoughts. There are many examples of positive effects by maintaining a positive, optimistic attitude. Understand this.
There’s no substitute for developing a healthy, positive attitude because the alternative sucks! I hope this speaks to your heart and mind and you make a deliberate choice to take charge of your life, health, wealth, love, happiness and success by developing an unstoppable, unwavering, positive belief in yourself and the goodness from within and all around you. Celebrate everything and everything changes. GET THIS. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Nocebo effects with antidepressant clinical drug trial placebos
Roy R Reeves1, Mark E Ladner, Roy H Hart, Randy S Burke
ABSTRACT:
We describe an individual who experienced unusual negative effects while taking a placebo during a clinical drug trial. A 26-year-old male took 29 inert capsules, believing he was overdosing on an antidepressant. Subsequently, he experienced hypotension requiring intravenous fluids to maintain an adequate blood pressure until the true nature of the capsules was revealed. The adverse symptoms then rapidly abated. The nocebo effect (undesirable symptoms following administration of an inert substance that the patient believes to be an active drug) may have significant negative impacts on certain patients. Further research is warranted to better understand this phenomenon.

Nocebo in fibromyalgia: meta-analysis of placebo-controlled clinical trials and implications for practice
D D Mitsikostas1, N G Chalarakis, L I Mantonakis, E-M Delicha, P P Sfikakis
Background: Nocebo refers to adverse effects (AEs) generated by negative expectations that medical treatment will likely harm instead of heal and can be assessed in placebo-controlled randomized clinical trials (RCTs). We examined AEs following placebo administration in RCTs for fibromyalgia (FM), a condition characterized by patients’ poor medication adherence, which may affect outcome and/or increase healthcare costs.
Methods: Following a systematic Medline search for RCTs for FM pharmacologic treatment published between 2001 and 2010, we assessed percentages of placebo-treated patients reporting at least one AE or discontinuing because of placebo intolerance and searched for factors influencing nocebo’s extent. Percentages were compared with those revealed by similar meta-analyses of RCTs for multiple sclerosis and primary headaches.
Results: Data were extracted from 16 RCTs fulfilling search criteria. Of 2026 placebo-treated patients, 67.2% (95%CI: 51.0-81.5%) reported at least one AE, and 9.5% (95%CI: 8.3-10.9%) discontinued placebo treatment because of intolerance. AEs in placebo arms corresponded quantitatively and qualitatively to those in active drug arms (ρ > 0.88, P < 0.0001). Younger age and larger placebo arm size were associated with increased dropout rates. Patients with depression were more likely to withdraw from trials. Nocebo dropouts in FM trials were fourfold and twofold higher than in RCTs for multiple sclerosis treatment and migraine preventive treatment, respectively.
Conclusions: Nocebo is remarkably prevalent in FM patients participating in RCTs. Because nocebo contributes to drug intolerance and treatment failure in clinical practice, identification of predisposing factors and efforts to prevent nocebo by educating these patients appropriately may be important for FM outcome.
The placebo effect suggests your mind can be as powerful in some cases as the treatment itself.
It might be easy to shrug your shoulders whenever you hear someone say “it’s all about mind over matter,” but sometimes, especially with medical research, that’s literally the case. The mind can be a powerful thing that helps your body heal through times of stress and duress, and in some cases, it can be powerful enough to cause what’s known as the placebo effect….
6. SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY EXCEPTED FROM WORK OF CARL SIMONTON
‘The effects of positive expectancy in a study of 152 cancer patients at Travis Air Force Base, the major Air Force medical facility on the West Coast. Five staff members rated the patients on their attitude toward treatment and evaluated their responses to treatment over the next eighteen months. The results were clear: those patients with positive attitudes had better responses to treatment; those with negative attitudes had poorer responses. In fact, of the 152 patients only two who had shown a negative attitude had a good response to treatment. The most significant finding of the study was that a positive attitude toward treatment was a better predictor of response to treatment than was the severity of the disease. That is, patients who had very serious prognoses but positive attitudes did better than patients who had relatively less serious prognoses but negative attitudes. In addition, patients who began to view their treatments positively often reported reduced side effects.’ …

ATTITUDE IS THE NUMBER ONE PREDICTOR OF SUCCESS IN ALL AREAS OF YOUR LIFE!
“I thought I’d share something from Elsie Lincoln Benedict today, especially since we’ve created quite a fever around her work in the Secrets of Success book study. I’ve been quite a fan for quite some time. Her work, as the work of some other significant authors predates so many, we are today familiar with. Elsie had it down for sure. She became a millionaire by age 30. That’s 30 mil today and so much more.
She was a pioneer for getting women the vote and she became a world class speaker. Truly amazing and so few know about it. Anyway, let’s get into the quote I want to share because it’s important. Understand, I keep pointing out that what you think, see, say, feel and do is what you get. If you believe anything, that anything is true for you. As Ford said, ‘if you think you can or you can’t…’
So, get this important quote from ‘How To Get Anything You Want’ and perhaps you will begin to understand why I say CELEBRATE EVERYTHING! Sadly, some people will read a book like hers, or Hill’s or Wattles and get the message that what you say is what you get and then say something stupid such as you must eliminate all negative beliefs, or there is toxic positivity, or you sabotage yourself. Get this.
If what you believe, think, see, say, feel and do is what you get WHAT did they just think, believe and speak. They said you must do something or something is the case without realizing that thought or belief is the very thing they first could change for transformation. If you are unaware of what you are presenting and representing to yourself, you live in a cycle of folly.
If words are important, they’re important. If they aren’t then they aren’t. You decide. Is Ford correct or not? Whatever conclusion you come to you will be correct FOR YOU. You will see or not see possibilities, opportunities or resources based on your beliefs or point of view. We live from our conditioning, but we can change it. We aren’t victims unless we think and act as victims. Get this?
If you think something is hard it will be hard. If you think food is bad for you it is. Learn from what we understand about the Placebo Effect. I’ve gone to it here, in my book and elsewhere so I won’t now, but understand your expectations determine how far you can see, what you find and what you get. YOU determine whether something is easy or not. Good or not? Valuable or not? YOU YOU YOU YOU!!!
Now the quote: “Another wonderful fact is that whereas we build harmful attitudes but slowly, we can build harmonious ones WITH INCREDIBLE RAPIDITY. This is due to the fact that when we build downward, we are opposing all the constructive forces of nature, whereas we ally ourselves with all our God-given powers the moment we start building upward.” Elsie Lincoln Benedict This is important!
There are those who tell you success is slow and hard to come by. You must sacrifice and work hard and sweat, sweat, sweat. If you don’t want it bad enough you won’t get it. Take massive action. It takes time to build wealth. Okay, do you get it? ‘Whereas we build harmful attitudes but slowly, we can build harmonious ones with INCREDIBLE RAPIDITY…. due to the fact…’ Get it. Your attitude matters!
What you find and become capable of depends on what you think about it all. What you feel about it and how you speak about it. Most people think change is hard so guess what they find? Change your thoughts and you transform your life. What one person finds difficult another finds easy or pleasant or rewarding. It’s all in your head. So, change what you think about, and you change what and how soon you bring it about. Thanks Elsie. SOMEONE has to say it. So many gurus got it wrong!! They even get Elsie wrong BUT you don’t have to miss out because they misinform and mislead. Screw your own head on right. Ok? Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
“This may be the wisest, more realistic, and most helpful book I’ve come across. I’ve been a self-help book addict for at least five decades, and I’ve read many of the greats. This is up there with the greats and maybe beyond. Besides extraordinary insights, the style is accessible and compelling. I loved LIFE ON YOUR TERMS. Buy it!” Mitzi Perdue – Author, Entrepreneur (Perdue Chicken)
“Rex equips you with everything you need to live a more empowered life inside of this book. Reading the book is like having Rex as your personal coach, guiding you on a life-changing journey, chapter by chapter. He has the uncanny ability to challenge your limiting thinking without you realizing that’s what he’s doing, and he guides you to the new pathways out of your own limitations with some really cool exercises, checklists and actions you can take to “try on” his ideas so you can actually work on changing yourself for the better – not just read about it.
He was the first person to really challenge me with the idea that to change my life, I had to change myself first. His concept of 100% Self-responsibility has served me so much in my life, it’s now the cornerstone of all my training and coaching as well. In the book (Chapter 20) he states, “When you accept full responsibility for everything going on, you begin to access your inner strengths and power. When you accept responsibility your mind begins to look for solutions because you are responsible.”
Bottom line: I’m a better coach, trainer, entrepreneur, husband, and parent because of Rex, his work, and the actionable insight he’s poured into this book.
It’s rare I buy a book that I read all the way through because it’s so good. It’s even rarer that I read and then reread a book over and over because it’s so great. Life On Your Terms is one of those books. Get the book, because your future self will thank you for it.” Joe Soto
“You get good at playing music, a sport, or any ability through correct practice. You go from not being able to do it at all to getting okay, then good, then better, then best. This process is one of mastery. Along the way there will be plateaus where it will seem your development has stalled. It hasn’t, but the pause button is pushed while you subconsciously integrate the learning and skills. It’s all part of it.
You can readily make the changes you want! You can learn anything and master it. You WILL have to apply yourself and KEEP with it until you get the changes you want AND you can do it! Simply take it bit by bit, step by step and you will surprise yourself. As you learn there’s a phase when you must talk yourself through it, just as you did when you learned to ride a bike or drive a car (any skill).
There are periods of time when we are klutzy. Sometimes we do well and other times not so well. Ultimately, the process streamlines, and we become more competent riders or drivers or more talented acquiring any skill. This process whereby this happens is through correct, consistent, spaced repetition. Our subconscious eventually makes it a habit. It becomes a reliable and automatic skill.
Correctly repeat the desired behaviors consistently, for long enough and they wire in. Our brains lay down new neural pathways. We learn the behavior. Eventually we no longer must think or talk ourselves through it. We’ve acquired the skill. We go from bad to okay to good to better to best. You learn quickest and easiest if during the process you suspend judgement and criticism of your learning.
The same is true about getting over anxiety or eliminating any unwanted behavior. Whenever you discover yourself going into the unwanted behavior you STOP and break state or pattern interrupt, I previously discussed. It’s like moving through the gears in your transmission. To get from one gear to the next your transmission passes through neutral. Get this! From neutral you shift into the new gear.
You stop the old pattern, interrupt it and shift into neutral. From neutral you think, feel, say or do the new behavior you want instead. You shift away from the old into neutral and from neutral you shift into the new replacement behavior. It is not that but this. Not that unwanted behavior but this new positive behavior! You practice the new way. Notice the old. Stop it. Go to neutral. Practice the new.
As you practice it might not seem like magic, but as you stick with it, eventually it will work like magic because you develop the new skill set. You just must stick with it and get through the difficult or awkward phase. Learning to do this new thing is the same as learning to do anything else. Doing the new thinking and behaving repeatedly wires it in. You do it repeatedly.
Enough times over a time and you develop the skill as a habit. Since you have learned many things, you can learn this too. You can learn a new skill and get good at it or eliminate unwanted behavior and wire in something new in its place. YOU must replace the old behavior with a new one. Nature abhors a vacuum. So out with the old and in with the new.
The more fun, delight and enjoyment you bring to learning the faster, easier and better you get. You can practice anything and master it, if only you stick with it. The more you like something the easier it is to remain doing it. So make learning and having fun the priority. Find ways to enjoy it. When learning to juggle you’ll like it better when you realize dropping balls is part of the process. Eventually, you drop them less. Get it? More next time. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

“So many people today chase celebrities, shiny objects, empty suits and possessions instead of being, doing and having ethics, morals, integrity, wisdom, kindness, compassion, love, acceptance and the greatest good for all. Why? Because we’ve been conditioned to want more. We’ve been conditioned to compare and feel bad if weacquirethings that make usfeelimportant. They make us backwards.
We want and sacrifice to spend our money to get things that we think will provide status and importance in the eyes of others so we will feel better by being somebody. Marketing and advertisers have appealed to us so they can get us spending more. Thank you Edwin Bernays the father of propaganda or as it became now Public Relations. If you don’t know about him, here’s a Wiki on him.
The point is if we become good, we will do good and have good. It is exactly the other way around from what ‘they’ want you to seek. They want you to crave things so much you sacrifice to spend so you can feel better and more important. The problem with this is you miss life sacrificing to become something you already are but don’t recognize. You waste life and miss the importance of things.
There’s nothing wrong with things but things like people perish. People think things will make them happy and they do temporarily. There’s a brain chemical rush with the new thing BUT the rush wears off and the thing grows old, not unnoticeable and nowadays breaks down faster or is replaceable than ever before. You get the newest phone this month only to want the latest phone next month.
In the USA if not the rest of the world, consumerism is promoted over quality of life. ‘THEY’ want you to think if you only have the right things, you will have a happy life. Well, ask the many, many, many wealthy people who chased things only to discover they aren’t happier. Things weren’t the answer. Some remain miserable but rich. Others learn what it’s about and change. You can too.
No need to be stuck. Although stuck is where ‘they’ want you to remain. You know, ‘work for the man’, spend your money on things and stay broke in that pursuit. BUT you don’t have to. Become the person for whom manifesting positivity and goodness for yourself, and others and you can break free. When you develop and adopt the right mind, you begin to take the right actions.
This makes it easier to get things. The formula is sound. There’s nothing wrong with things. Desire is normal and natural. It’ not the desire to have better that’s wrong. It’s good. The problem is the attachment and sacrifice of the present in pursuit of a future that doesn’t arrive and is left unfulfilled. Ask a rich person if they prefer riches to lack and they’ll say riches. I do too.
There’s nothing wrong with riches. It’s natural and normal. ‘They’ don’t want it for you. They need you to be a stuck workforce buying their goods so they can remain rich. There’s plenty of money for everyone all around the world. The issue isn’t lack. The issue is access. Restricted access, cartel like practices and intentional scarcity drives demand and pricing.
If everyone wants it or needs it, likely you will too. It’s conditioning. It’s mindset, but we can change it, you and me. We need not suffer. There’s plenty of goodness. My work has been and is to connect you up with the resources needed to liberate yourself from this hamster wheel and create the life you want and deserve. That includes the things you desire.
Most of my life is spent helping people find inner resourcefulness, possibilities and opportunities so they can discover and use them. From within to without. BE DO HAVE. When you’re thinking right and you BE it first, your feelings and actions align. Things get easier because of WHO you are not because of what you try and do. I repeat. Things get easier because of WHO you are not! For no other reason.
They want you to work hard and sacrifice your family time, leisure and life to buy something else. I want you to be able to buy something else without all the sacrifice. You should enjoy life now while you acquire things. Get it? Who you are determines how easily you move through the world and navigate difficulty if you do. Most of us do. WHO you are. It isn’t what you do.
Become it and everything else falls into place. I show and share with you how to become it with less effort and more delight so that you live your life the same way. Less effort. More delight. Certainly, you could work really, really hard if you don’t know better. My message is you can have it all when you become the kind of person for whom having it all is delightful and effortless.
Does this mean there’s no effort? No. It means far less effort, but you still need to be in charge. The difference is I help you take charge of you. Others want you to work hard and do lots of things to get stuff, so you become better. Be better first and everything else becomes better. Join me so I can assist you. No one can do it for you though many will claim that. It’s a lie.
You must do it but the rewards are yours. You own it then. It’s not that difficult but ‘they’ want you distracted so you never discover this. They mislead you so you can’t or don’t find yourself. I want you to know you are already everything you seek. The conditioning hides it, but you are incredible. Let me help you discover the real you who is more than capable of having an incredible life.
There’s no need to worry about lack and restriction when you are creating from the abundance within and around you. Live life on your terms. Create the life you want. When you realize it is from within you that you create the outer world everything changes. When you ARE it you naturally do it and there’s no struggle or sacrifice. When you ARE it, IT is available to you.There’s a huge secret in the next sentence that’s always there to help you AND it’s so powerful. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

“Rex, I love your book! I just want to say thank you for who you are and how you are showing up and particularly for ‘Life On Your Terms.’ It is a powerful book that impacted me and people I have shared it with.

“Some people think changing for the better is difficult. They don’t think they can do it and get ahead. Because of this it is true for them. They think it is hard so they don’t attempt it. They don’t want to face the difficulty or they fear they will fail, or it just isn’t worth it. Because of this they don’t change. They refuse to accept it. They remain stuck wishing things were different for years on end.
If you want to make pervasive, positive, big changes in your life you have to accept an important fact and live totally from it. Then change becomes easier. The truth is, the fact is, there is only one person responsible for the quality of your life. That person is you. You are 100% responsible for everything. Most people don’t want to hear this. They deny it, but it is accurate.
Everything is the result of what you are doing or not doing. Get this!! You are successful or not because of YOUR thoughts, feelings, attitudes and behaviors. No one else is responsible. You are responsible for your reactions and actions. You are responsible for your lack of action. It can’t be any plainer. You are the cause of your happiness or your suffering. You think it is otherwise, but it isn’t. It’s all up to you.
Whether you have great relationships at home, with partners or friends, whether you have lots of money or little, whether you experience great or limited fitness and health it’s up to you. Career, leisure, possessions are all up to you. You determine what you have or don’t have. You are either in control or you are not. So, take some time and reflect on this.
Stop giving your power away to others. Stop thinking everything else has power over you. If it is going to come true it is up to you. Make it happen if you want it to happen. Recognize when you blame, whine, excuse and provide reasons for why things aren’t the way they could be. Recognize when you give your power away. Realize, it is true things happen but you react.
You can choose how you want to respond but most don’t. Most respond from the habits they learned growing up. Realize you are the chooser. It is up to you to choose. You are the thinker. What do you allow yourself to think? Get this and everything changes. If not, things remain as is. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

“Best results I’ve ever gotten on a hypnotic audio before! –Nicholas Montegna, Pennsauken, NJ
ATTITUDE IS THE NUMBER ONE PREDICTOR OF SUCCESS IN ALL AREAS OF YOUR LIFE!
“In the last blog I asked, “What seems to make the difference?” In this blog we’ll explore the answer. The mind. Your mind. You either believe it or don’t. It’s either possible or it isn’t. You either can or you can’t. Thinking makes it so. Because you can’t see it and don’t believe it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, but for you it doesn’t. At least, for now. Change your thinking and everything can change.
Abundance is. You either experience it in your head and heart space or you don’t. If you don’t, you don’t. Even when surrounded by abundance. Oftentimes we can’t find our keys, phones or glasses when they may be right in front of us or held in our hand. If you are unaware, you are unaware until you aren’t. You don’t notice what you don’t notice until you notice, you hadn’t noticed it. Notice this!
Change your thoughts, attitude and beliefs and you can begin to experience unlimited abundance, infinite possibilities, opportunities and resources. It begins in the imagination, with an idea. Even if it hasn’t seemed possible or you haven’t experienced the good you wanted in the past, it doesn’t mean you can’t or won’t in the future if you make certain changes. Why? Because the past doesn’t exist.
Except in your mind. You think it does. Your thinking keeps it alive and keeps it affecting you. Drop the past. Abandon what you don’t want. Learn from it and let it go. It’s only a thought you are hanging on to. Yes, it seems real because thoughts are impulses that release chemicals in the body producing feelings. If the feelings are unwanted, rest assured your thinking stinks. Change your thinking.
Get this! Transform the energy. Imagine a different way to be and become it. That’s how everything comes to be. Create the present and future you want. It begins with the idea and the possibility. Realize this. Grow into this awareness. Reflect on how you could be different if you were to think things differently. Realize, if it is to be it is up to ‘ME.’ Enough for now. More next time. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
