How to Stop History from Repeating Itself

Have you ever noticed how history seems to repeat itself?

Not just in the world around us, but in your own life.

The same arguments.

The same thought spirals.

The same behaviours you promised yourself you’d change.

I know that cycle well. And one of the questions I’m asked more than any other is, “Ife, how do I take control of my thoughts?”

It’s a powerful question, because the our thoughts drive our actions, and our actions shape our results. If we can’t change the way we think in the moment, we stay trapped in the same loop.

So how do we break free?

The Power of Interruption

The best advice I can give you is this: interrupt yourself. Not later, when you’ve calmed down.

Not tomorrow, when the storm has passed.But right there in the heat of the moment.That’s when it matters most.

When your heart is racing, your face is hot, and your emotions are running high,,that is your CHANGE window.

Because if you can interrupt yourself at that emotional peak, if you can pause, breathe, and choose a different response you begin creating new neural pathways.

It’s like telling your brain, 

“We don’t walk down that old road anymore. We’re building a new one.”

And over time, those new pathways grow stronger than the old ones. That’s how transformation begins, not in theory, but in practice, in real time.

How I Interrupted myself, was by building  the Speaker Academy …

I wanted to scale. I’m officially launching my Speaker Academy.This is more than a programme, it’s a platform. A space where as many people as possible can join me live every month and access my masterclasses on..

 

Confidence

Connection

Communication

Becoming a paid speaker

The Academy is designed to help you build the skills, mindset, and presence to stand on any stage, physical or virtual and speak with impact.

And just as I’ve interrupted my own patterns to build it, this Academy is about helping you interrupt yours.

Because history doesn’t have to keep repeating itself.

Not in your thoughts.

Not in your behaviours.

Not in your career.

The choice to interrupt yourself, changes everything.
