Brains Are Wired Through Conditioning: So DO This!

“There are a few things we can do to help prevent ourselves from going down the habit rabbit hole of overthinking, paralysis by analysis, and less-than-glorious self-talk. I share them in this and perhaps another blog or two. First, know that I can help you and if you put these practices into practice you can get the relief and freedom you want and deserve. Follow these instructions.

Understand that our brains are wired through conditioning. That is just the way it is. It isn’t your fault your brain works as it does, nor is it your fault you were conditioned by others while growing up. Accept that your brain is hardwired to do certain things to help you survive and thrive. Accept this and accept yourself. Accept you and everyone else gets conditioned. It’s not your fault.

Don’t give it any more attention than you already have. We have been hardwired through evolution to squirt brain chemicals in reaction to outer and inner stimuli. When we feel threatened we release chemicals to fight, flight or freeze. These chemicals flood our being so we react to survive. Sometimes we get in a loop and feel chronically stressed. This can create dis-order and dis-ease.

That’s not healthy and blaming yourself isn’t any healthier. So accept it for what it is and decide to make use of it as best you can. Take some deep breaths. Relax and let go. Our thoughts and beliefs and memories or associations are woven together within. One thought can lead to another and another. If they are negative you spiral down. If positive you can spiral up. Things are anchored.

Thoughts, memories, feelings, experiences are tied together so one negative thought can lead to another seemingly random negative memory. They may have nothing to do with each other but they fire together. You may make connections or meaning about these connections that may not even exist. You think it does because of the proximity of them coming forth. They aren’t connected.

Still, you might make some fabricated connections. Repetition wires these things in. The more you do this kind of thinking the more likely you are to repeat it. That is how we develop habits. SO even not relevant memories can seem relevant and then we create another story about it. We may think ‘see I really am a loser.’ When you are not. You can break this cycle and create freedom.

How? Through awareness. When you first begin to notice the negative thought or feeling you have the opportunity to break the flood, or stop the flood of interconnected random less-than-glorious other thoughts, memories or feelings. If you let it go and repeat it you will likely repeat it in the future again and again. So, when you notice STOP and breathe. Take a few deep breaths. Move!

When your mind starts accelerating with negative associations and feelings STOP and breathe. RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT is the time to interrupt the pattern. As early as you can. Of course, you may find yourself down the rabbit hole any number of times but with correct practice, you will begin catching it earlier and earlier. You can catch it, interrupt it and slow it down or put it on pause.

When you find yourself getting negative or down or fearful or angry or over-thinking and your mind is racing STOP and breathe. Move around. Focus on your breath. Focus on the movement. Put your attention on your surroundings. What are you seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting or smelling? Remove your attention and energy from the cascading stinking thinking and bad feelings. Take charge.

Stay with it until you are calm, relaxed and free of it. At first, it could take 10 minutes or more. It certainly can take less too and will as you wire in the new awareness and habit. Take some deep slow breaths because deep slow breathing is relaxing. Your body and mind will calm down. Shift your focus to positive thoughts. Find something to feel grateful about. Feel the gratitude. Get it.

Stop doing what you were doing. Interrupt it and begin doing something new and different that sends your mind and body in a different positive and optimistic direction. Change course. Get this. Stop and shift. Pivot. Turn around. However, you want to consider it is fine but CHANGE IT! Then don’t talk about it. Don’t go back to it. Leave it alone. What was, was. NOW, what is, IS!

STOP. Focus on the good and the positive. Speak only to bless, heal, prosper, transform, transcend, edify and uplift. focus on the good. If you talk about what was a problem you might go back into it. Resist the urge to report out to others as well. History is not relevant here. Let it go. Shift and find the good. Live in the good and the gratitude. Let the appreciation, appreciate.

Don’t let others pull you into it by talking about it with you either. Rise above. You got free. Focus on the freedom and remaining free, not that which had you bound up or stuck. My formula for 40 years has been AWARENESS. Notice it. STOP! Interrupt the pattern. Get into NEUTRAL. Let it all go. Relax. SCAN for resources or look for the positive. SHIFT into the resources. Feel resourceful.

Feel the positivity. Embrace it. Wrap it around. Walk around feeling wonderful. Dance, skip, sing, celebrate. You were headed for disaster but you NOTICED and TOOK CHARGE and the steps to avert it. You redirected your attention and energy from less-than-glorious into the glorious. WOW, cool/ Celebrate even more. Pat yourself on the back. You dodged the bullet. You made the change.

Congratulate yourself. Repeat as needed. The more you do this the more you create new habits. As you repeat this process you wire in the new positive skills, abilities, direction, awareness and resourcefulness that becomes reliable and automatic. You eventually become unconsciously competent with the new thoughts, feelings, words and behaviors WHICH get you new results! WOW! What a trade-off. You lose negativity and discover positivity and resourceful thinking, speaking, feeling and behaving. Is that not wonderful? Of course, it is. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

How To Shake It Up To Get Better Results

“Be gentle and realize we all get caught up with issues and there are disappointments. It’s this thing called LIFE. How we handle issues and disappointments determines how we get through them. One of the best ways is to reframe them as things that happen for you.

These arise to help you learn. These help you to learn to let go. They are there to make you stronger and for you to discover how resourceful you are. Even if this may not be the case it is a useful mindset to help you navigate difficulty more easily. Get this!

Your mindset or attitude is the number 1 predictor of success in all areas of life. How you think about things determines how you feel and what you do. How you think, feel and do determines the results you get. Fix it from the starting gate by getting your thinking right.

Learn How To Change Your Thoughts And You Transform Your Life

Learn to get over yourself. Stop any wallowing, whining and despair. Drop anxiety, doubt, fear and depression. Let these go. You may not think you can BUT you can. Get on with positive things. Be gentle, accepting and loving of yourself and you will evolve faster.

Nurturing yourself moves you forward faster and easier than criticizing yourself. This is a discovery we each make in our own time. Look for the good. Look for the silver lining. You may not notice it at first and will have to train yourself to look for it and to find it.

It is there. Accentuate the positive. Eliminate the negative. When you don’t feel fantastic, when you are faced with some unpleasantness, and feeling ecstatic is too large a leap for you, then you can incrementally nudge yourself in a positive direction.

Learn How To Change Your Thoughts And You Transform Your Life

Move in that direction by choosing better thoughts than the less than glorious ones you had. If you can’t get to powerfully positive thoughts right from the ‘get go’ inch your way there. Nudge yourself in that direction by choosing better thoughts. Get it? Choose well.

So, if you can’t get to powerfully positive right from the start move in increments. Stay positive. Don’t wallow in self-pity, negativity or blame yourself. Instead, find a way to think and feel a little bit better. Interrupt the patterns. Choose better thoughts. Take tiny steps.

How to stop bad habits? Novelty. DO something new and different. Do new things. Take some deep breaths. Sing. Shout. Holler. Chant. Cheer. Take a break. Take a walk, Do something! Move, skip, dance, do a little physical activity every day that makes you feel great.

Learn How To Change Your Thoughts And You Transform Your Life

Shake it up! Take a nap. Drink more water. Smile. Laugh. Read or listen to some inspiring material. Hang out with positive people. Repeat new positive and rewarding behaviors. Encourage, reward and repeat the new ones. Diminish the old by not going there.

Don’t engage the pity party. Create a positivity practice and make it the new habit. The key to change is awareness. Notice the trigger for the old. Stop. Breath. Interrupt the pattern. Shake it up. Do something different. Own the change. Engage the new behavior.

Notice it. Own it. Play with it. Appreciate your ability to notice and act in your own best interests. Pat yourself on the back. Stick with it. Keep going. Don’t quit. Repeat the new behavior. Practice it. Be it. In time, you’ll create a new way of being. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

The First Step To Making Permanent Positive Changes

“Because you are used to doing things the only way you have known to do things your brain attempts to keep you the same. To change you must become aware of this. Notice old patterns that have held you back and decide to do something different. Learn this.

If you always do what you always did you will always get what you always got. Understand this and you can change. Commit to making a difference for yourself. Notice the old habits. Stop it in its tracks. Shift to do something positive new. This way you create new habits.

You must stop doing the old. You must stop reacting as Pavlov’s dog and drooling when the bell rings. You use the trigger to trigger a new and useful behavior instead of the one you want to change. Get this? It takes your conscious attention to rewire your brain in new ways.

Change Your Thoughts And You Transform Your Life

BUT you can do it. It is easier than you think. You catch or notice the old behavior. Interrupt it. Take a few deep breaths. Laugh. Move around. Do anything positive and healthy that interrupts you from continuing on in the old way. PAUSE and then shift into the new.

Change is happening even when you are discouraged, frustrated or aren’t aware of any difference. When these feelings arise notice them and re-direct. This is how you begin to gain control and mastery over the process. You rewire your brain for success.

You create some space, through awareness to begin to think, feel, speak and act in new and different and more productive ways. Repeat this correctly and consistently until it becomes a habit. You take conscious control to create new, more useful, positive habits.

Change Your Thoughts And You Transform Your Life

Do it in the face of resistance and difficulty and you’ll transform the resistance. You’ll transform yourself into one who can more easily move ahead. Inside you, you already are all possibilities. Don’t short change yourself, just because you may have in the past.

Choose to be the person you’d like to become. If you don’t like what you’re doing, learn to do something else. Do anything else. Become positive and practice remaining positive. When you master these basics you’ll be able to manifest marvelously and get incredible results. Believe you can and you will. Become a champion using the law of attraction. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Take your first steps toward transformation and transcendence!

Notice What You Notice And Move On

“When you increase your awareness you make room for change. Congratulate yourself for noticing. Appreciate you new awareness. Pat yourself on the back. No, really pat yourself on the back. Acknowledge your new awareness with a physical ‘good going!’

Do the same when you notice any habitual thought or behavior. Become conscious of it. Deliberately attempt to get in front of it to change it. This means notice the awareness and congratulate. Notice you have a choice and congratulate yourself. Then make the choice.

Whatever you choose congratulate yourself for noticing and choosing. If you made the ‘wrong’ choice know that you did the best you could at that time and congratulate yourself. If you make the ‘right’ choice do the same. Why do you do this? To nurture yourself.

Change Your Thoughts And You Transform Your Life

The more you nurture the ability to become aware of something you weren’t aware of and then choose and then act to change it the more this becomes likely in the future. If you criticize yourself you hamper your abilities, Get it? Treat yourself like a toddler beginning to walk.

If you want your life to change you must change some things you are doing. When you ‘catch yourself’ and then choose to direct the energy differently you are initiating change. You are beginning to create new patterns or habits. This is an exciting time. Flow with it.

Stay open and positive. Be optimistic. Notice what you are doing that wasn’t working and when you begin to go into the thought, feeling or behavior. Then STOP, interrupt the pattern. Take a deep breath, shake yourself off. Notice. Stop.Interrupt and Shift.

Change Your Thoughts And You Transform Your Life

Do something else. If you want to change your life you must change what you are doing. Get it? This is how you move from less than glorious to glorious. Stop the old chronic conditioned ways. Interrupt it. Then shift to what you’d rather do instead, SHIFT!

To make it a habit you need to repeat if for long enough as I have described. You can change your thinking, feelings and behaviors this way. This is part of the process in my Attitude Activator™ Audio Program. It guides you to learn this process and make changes.

If you keep doing the old, which you have always done, you will continue to get the same old unwanted results. To get new and different results you myst do new and different thinking, feeling and behaving. Get it? More next time. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

For Goodness Sake Stop Being Pavlov’s Dog

“Stop Being Pavlov’s Dog! Reactions are knee-jerk and come from your previous, haphazard, less than glorious, negative conditioning while growing up. Your reactions determine your limitations. To be able to respond differently is to discover you have choice.

You have choice to think, feel and behave differently. Reactions limit or restrict you. You can only react as you have been conditioned to react. Your responses free yo! The ability to respond arises from recognizing you have choice. You can learn to respond.

It requires you notice your tendency to instantly react from that conditioning. While different things may get you angry. You really only get angry pretty much the same way each time. This is true about all our emotions. There is a sequence to feeling our feelings.

Change Your Thoughts And You Transform Your Life

We have a physical sequence of neuro-electro-chemical actions and transitions that lead us into the emotional and physical states we feel and become aware of. When you notice the beginning of the sequence and re-direct it then you control it. This is awareness.

Instead of it controlling you you become aware of it and then you can begin to direct it as you choose. First is to notice it. As soon as you begin to get angry, notice it. Catch it and change it. Right as you start to get angry STOP and take some deep breaths.

Count to 1000. STOP and walk it off. Jump up and down. Do something silly. Create space between what you’d have automatically done and what you now choose to do differently. Create a pause. This is the beginning of transformation

Change Your Thoughts And You Transform Your Life

You can’t change what you don’t know to change. Awareness is the first step. If you aren’t aware of something you can’t do anything about it. Become aware and you can redirect it or shift from it to something else. More about this next time. For now become aware and as you do congratulate yourself for noticing. Appreciate you new awareness. Get it? Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

All Defeat Is Temporary When You Know How To Handle Things

“Remember all defeat is temporary, unless you quit and throw in the towel, then it becomes permanent. You determine whether something is a failure or not. For you to finish the race you must cross the finish line. Keep the faith. Keep moving forward.

If things seem bleak, don’t believe it. You don’t have to succumb to thoughts of doubt, fear, frustration, resentment, anger or sadness. You don’t have to believe the negative things you tell yourself. You only do, because you have. You can change it. Choose your thoughts.

Choose which ones you want to pay attention to. Choose which ones you want to affect you. Shift from the negative into the positive. When you hear yourself getting down on yourself, exclaim, ‘Wait one darn second! Get out of here. Cancel. Cancel!’ Do it! Try It! Do It!

A Quitter Never Wins And A Winner Never Quits

Interrupt your pattern of negative thinking. Do it each time a negative thought arises and soon you will interrupt them all. Once interrupted, replace them with the thought or belief you want to think instead. Do this consistently, long enough, and you transform.

You’ll change from negative self-talk that automatically rags on you when ‘whatever’ happens, to positive, resourceful, self-talk instead. Positive moves you forward! Instead of getting stuck or wallowing in self-pity or hatred, you’ll find solutions and opportunities. COOL!

The old triggers for negative ‘yuck’ will then trigger new behavior habits that support you and serve you. Isn’t that a nice trade off? For it to work, all you have to do is DO IT, repeatedly, consistently, for long enough until it becomes the new habit. It is up to you. Do it!

If You Think You Can Or You Think You Can’t – You Are Right

Keep the good you want to make happen in your mind. Keep doing whatever positive things it takes to create that positive good. You create the results. You are either a victor or you’re a victim. Which is it? Which will it be? You decide. No one else can decide for you.

Find the blessings in every situation. Discover the blessings and be thankful and your life will radically transform. Shift from the old to the new way of being and you will surprise and delight yourself with an incredible a new you, and a new life, you are able to create. That is worth it, isn’t it? Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
