Do you deal with toxic people? Are you vulnerable? Recently, one of my course students, David MacDowell Blue, used a strategy from one of my online courses*. He wrote: “This course helped me even deal with a violent stranger in downtown Los Angeles.”

* My course is Darkest Secrets of Persuasion and Seduction Masters: How to Protect Yourself and Turn the Power to Good.

1. Myth: Read a book. Or just listen to a lecture, and you own the material.

Powerful Truth: Knowledge is just noise unless you can recall it instantly.

I have served more than 20 years as an educator. I have worked as a guest lecturer at Stanford University, Sofia University, California State University — Chico…Adjunct Instructor at Academy of Art University and more.

I have seen when education goes off track.

As a remedy, I have developed methods as part of my science Code Access Reset™.

In my courses, I use methods to make the material memorable. Then, you can have instant recall in a “clutch moment.” In basketball, for example, a clutch moment is when a player shoots and scores or shoots and chokes. It is a pressure-filled moment.

In one of my courses, I have the students practice a “Conscious Breath” so they can shift their perception in an instant.

I invite you to learn more about online courses from the Tom Marcoux Institute.

To get beyond this first myth, I will share a Powerful Process with you in this article …

2. Myth: Other people control how you feel.

Powerful Truth: You can modify how the neurons fire in your brain.

Hebb’s Law states: Neurons that fire together wire together.

To change how you react in a tough situation, it helps when you practice new skills.

For example…

A Powerful Process:

If you feel something is wrong in a situation:

1) Take a slow breath (a “conscious breath’).
2) Focus on these 3 “What” Questions:

a) What am I feeling?
b) What do they want?
c) What if all this is NOT true?

I go into further detail about this process in my course Darkest Secrets of Persuasion and Seduction Masters: How to Protect Yourself and Turn the Power to Good.

Here, I emphasize that practicing the dual skills of the Conscious Breath and What-Questions helps you shift your perceptions and get access to your cognitive skills. That’s when you can think clearly and make good decisions. You can protect your well-being. You can elevate your life. The Power of Elevation occurs when you can use new skills in the clutch moment.

Remember:

Powerful Truth: Knowledge is just noise unless you can recall it instantly.

May these insights support your path.
