The 5 Second Rule

Do you ever find yourself making to-do lists and then not following through on them?
Like every single day?
Or thinking to yourself, "What the heck is wrong with me? I know what I'm supposed to be doing, why can't I just do it?"

Trust me. I AM YOU.

But this is what I've found:

1. Knowing what to do will never be enough.
2. Knowing why you need to do it will never be enough.
If you don't start doing the things you don't feel like doing, you will wake up one year from today and be in exactly the same place.

I recently learned a new technique called the 5 second rule by Mel Roobins.
Here's the one-liner definition of the 5 second rule:
If you have an impulse to act on a goal, you must physically move within 5 seconds or your brain will kill the idea.

So if you have a goal of gaining more respect in the workplace, you have to raise your hand the next time you're in a meeting and you have a great idea.

If you have a goal of losing weight, you can take action right now by researching healthy meal options and setting daily reminders on your phone that will prompt you to do workouts or go to the gym.

Whatever your goals are, show the world, and yourself, that you're serious by taking action, however insignificant that action may seem, RIGHT NOW.

Because when you physically move, your brain starts to build new habits. When you do something you're not used to doing, you are in the act of building new habits and erasing existing ones.

Let your boy know how the 5 Second Rule works for you.

Have an amazing day!

KILLER OPPORTUNITY OF THE CENTURY Imagine it's 1976 and you're outside, going for a walk in your neighbourhood. As you walk, you pass the neighbour's house whose garage is open... Inside, they're tinkering with computers - and you greet them... "Hey Steve!" -  you say... and behind them is a handwritten sign that reads "Apple Computers"... Knowing what you do now, would you walk past them - or instead try to get involved with their company? Cryptocurrency is a similar story. Once "just a fad" - the cryptocurrency industry currently sits at a market cap of over 1 trillion dollars! ...and today, over 300 million people own crypto. Over the next few years, I'd guess that billions will own crypto - and it is still very much in its infancy. So, after hearing that story about Apple, do you... A) Walk past this enormous opportunity (and perhaps regret it later)... OR... B) Get involved now - before it's too late...? Listen... if you don...

Common Sense Secret Of High Achievers

There is one thing people lack in life that prevents them from reaching their goals. It's called having a mentor. People who have mentors reach their goals more often than people who don't. Here's 4 reasons you need a mentor: A mentor will.. 1. Hold you accountable, even when you run out of motivation 2. Make you productive, even when you feel like you're not making progress 3. Stay positive, even when you're surrounded by negativity 4. Keep you focused, even when you have a lot going on. I didn't think of mentors as important to my success in life until I realized that virtually everyone I've been looking up to as role model still undergo one form of mentorship or the other. In other words, highly successful people still have mentors. To be honest, finding a mentor isn't easy. Most mentors these days are too busy with personal projects to make themselves available. But there's good news. The internet has made it possibl...
