Try out Mel Robbins' "5-second rule" as a motivation technique for tomorrow: count down from five and take immediate action to kickstart your day.
Ready to kick that laziness to the curb? Here's a simple, yet powerful trick to get you moving when you just don't feel like it. Meet the 5-Second Rule, the brainchild of American author Mel Robbins.
As she puts it, motivation is a waste of time (and so are you, if you're relying on it). Instead, she suggests taking action before your brain has a chance to talk you out of it. So, whether it's getting up earlier or tackling that dreaded chore, here's what you do: count backwards from five, and boom - immediate action.
Ever heard of the 5-Second Rule? It's the belief that if you pick up a dropped piece of food within five seconds, it's still safe to eat. Mel took this concept and applied it to her own life as a means to turn procrastination into instant action.
You see, if you have an idea and let it linger for more than five seconds, your mind starts to contaminate your desire to follow through. So, to avoid talking herself out of something, Mel counts backwards from five and jumps right into action. Even if it's as simple as getting out of bed.
But it's not just about motivation; it's about pushing past the anxiety and excuses that can hold us back. And guess what? It works. But remember, you've only got five seconds to act. So go ahead, give it a try, and watch as your to-do list begins to shrink.
