Applying The 5 Second Rule

 The 5 Second Rule




I woke up motivated this morning thanks to a simple concept that I heard from Mel Robbins on Lewis Howes' School of Greatness podcast. I like going to sleep to podcasts because I inevitably wake up to the things I need to hear.

What I heard this morning was Mel Robbins talking about how a countdown of 5-4-3-2-1 has changed her life and thousands of other lives including 11 people who were suicidal. It reminded me of the power of simple concepts!

The number 5 has been my favorite number for as long as I can remember. I have always been fascinated by the number 5 for reasons that I don't completely understand. It is like it is meant to be a part of my life for some strange reason. Maybe this moment is piece of the puzzle.

I got excited when I heard the podcast interview between Lewis Howes and Mel Robbins. I could relate to when she was talking about being broke and depressed and just wanted to stay in bed. Although I don't wallow in those negative moments, they sure present themselves more often than I care to admit. I pride myself on being an optimist, but sometimes reality knocks the wind out of my sails. Which is why I constantly feed my mind life-changing nuggets that come from empowering places like The School of Greatness.

I love the idea of using the logical side of my brain to overcome resistance and what better method than doing a 5 second countdown. It's one of those aha moments that can change your life. In fact, it already has. Instead of pushing snooze a dozen times like I normally do, I got up and wrote this post to share with you. Now, I'm off to meditate, exercise and nourish my body with some warm lemon water and green juice.

It feels good to rocket launch my day and discover the possibilities that await in the momentum!
