Cause - Effect to Effect - Cause

Everyone talks about cause → effect. But in real life, it’s the other way around i.e effect -> cause.

You feel the tension first. You react. Only then do you try to figure out what caused it?

And the advice we often get?
“Control your triggers.”
“Fix the root cause.”
Nice words.

But when you’re in the middle of a heated moment, none of it helps.

Why? Because no one shows you how to actually do it.

No technique. No tools. Just buzzwords. Just hollow motivation.

That’s why I built E.S.U.A.C. – The Reverse Loop.

No fluff. No jargon.
Just a real-world tool to help you break the cycle from Day 1.

E – Effect: What did I feel or do?

S – See the Impact: What happened around me because of it?

U – Uncover the Thought: What belief or story was behind it?

A – Automatic Reaction: What did I do on autopilot?

C – Catch the Trigger: What truly set it off?

This helps to move from Cause -> Effect to Effect -> Cause.

It’s built on:

CBT – for connecting emotions, behaviours, and thought patterns

Stoicism – for building pause between trigger and response

Modern Leadership Coaching – for turning reflection into action

A founder I mentored once lost his temper with the co-founder in a team meeting.

Blamed it on “lack of progress.”

Here’s what actually unfolded:

E – Effect: Raised voice. Visible frustration.
S – See the Impact: Team withdrew. Trust dropped. People demotivated.
U – Uncover the Thought: “I’m doing more than him, be it funding, working 1.5x.”
A – Automatic Reaction: Public blame. Lost emotional control.
C – Catch the Trigger: Ongoing frustration. Never addressed.

The cause wasn’t about progress. It was unspoken expectations and a feeling of imbalance ignored for too long.

E.S.U.A.C. is just one tool inside my Mindset Shift Framework, a system built for professionals who don’t need theory.

They need clarity, practical techniques, and real results starting now.

If that sounds like you, let’s talk. No fluff. Just practical tools for real situations.
