“My teen son came to me and said, Mom, I can really see you change and not yelling anymore.”
Kimberli S.

You already know you are a reasonable, stable person. Most days prove it.

Then a moment shows up. A comment, a tone of voice, a text you read twice. Something in you fires before you decide anything. You snap. You go quiet in the wrong way. The thing you say gets replayed tonight.

Ten minutes later, you are back to yourself, wondering what happened.

Here is the part that stings: you already know better. You have read the books, done the reflecting, tried the techniques. Some of these reactions still will not budge.

That is because knowing what to do, and doing it in the moment, are two separate skills. You can understand your triggers completely and still watch yourself drive past the exit anyway.

If that sounds familiar, you are not broken, and you are not alone. You are emotionally hijacked, and hijacked is a pattern you can learn to catch. That is the whole 5 days: The Emotional Freedom Challenge, live with Dr. Paul Jenkins, August 17–21.

If nothing changes, next week looks like this week: the same comment lands the same way, the same drive home replays the same conversation. Five mornings from now, you could have a little more room between what happens to you and what you do next.

You Might Be Noticing Things Like…

If one of those landed, keep reading. The next 5 days are built around exactly this.

  • I know better, but in the moment it still happens.

  • I replay conversations afterward and think, why did I respond that way?

  • I try to stay calm, but certain situations (or people) just push my buttons.

  • I am working on myself, reading, learning, reflecting, and yet some reactions do not seem to change.

The 5-Day Experience

What The 5 Days Cover

Five mornings, one idea building on the last. This is the actual working model Dr. Paul teaches, live.

Show up for one day and you will leave with something to use immediately. Show up for all five and you will have the whole model.

  1. Day 1 · The Positivity Model

    Own the reaction

    Where your reactions come from, and how to reclaim ownership of them. This is the foundation everything else stands on.

  2. Day 2 · The 6-Phase Creation Process

    Let discontent point somewhere

    Why the discontent you feel isn't a problem to fix. It's the spark that starts real change, once you know how to use it.

  3. Day 3 · Victim vs. Agent

    Catch it before it runs you

    Two ways to meet any hard moment. Learn to notice which one of the two you are standing in, and make the shift on purpose, not by accident.

  4. Day 4 · The Influence Quadrant

    Stop making it about you

    Turning your attention toward the people around you, not further inward, is what dissolves anxiety.

  5. Day 5 · Commitment and Courage

    Make it stick

    The 4 Cs: Commitment, Courage, Capability, Confidence. How you carry this past Friday, so it holds up outside this room.

About the Host

About Dr. Paul Jenkins

Dr. Paul Jenkins is a Positivity Psychologist. He has spent decades working with individuals, couples, families, and leaders on one core skill: taking real emotional responsibility.

His teaching comes down to a single idea: you can learn to operate the equipment of your own mind, so a hard moment gets your chosen response instead of your automatic one.

That is not a metaphor for this Challenge. It is the thing you will actually practice, live, across 5 real mornings.

A Simple Clarification and Disclaimer

Let us be direct about what this is and what it is not. This is free education, grounded in positive psychology. It is not therapy, not a mental-health treatment program, not one-on-one coaching, and not a sales pitch dressed up as a class. I am not here to diagnose or treat anything. I am here to teach principles that have helped a lot of people manage their reactions, and I believe they will help you too.

If you are working with a therapist or managing a mental health condition, keep doing that. This Challenge sits alongside that kind of support; it does not replace it.

This also is not a sales pitch. At the end of the week, I will mention a few resources if you want to keep going: no pressure, no obligation, just an open door if you want to walk through it.

Once you are registered, you will see the option to add VIP access (8:00 – 10:00 AM MT): a one-time $27 add-on (a $297 value), backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. It is not required, and it is not the point of this page.

You Already Spotted Yourself Somewhere In This Page

That is the part that is hard to un-see. You do not need to believe this week will go well. You just need to show up and find out.
