Mel Robbins 5 second rule is simple: If you have the instinct to act on a goal, you must physically move within 5 seconds or your brain will kill it. The 5-second rule trick your brain
When you feel yourself hesitate before doing something that you know you should do, count 5 4 3 2 1 GO and move towards action. How can you trick the brain into taking action? First of all, you need to create new habits in order to avoid procrastination and the habit of hesitating. By doing this, you will force yourself to get things done and discover the motivation to get things done.
How to control your mind when our minds are designed to stop you? How to control your brain? Just start counting backward to yourself: 5-4-3-2-1 start
Lacking motivation or need motivation? Do these countdown brain tricks. All you need to do is stop waiting and stop overthinking and act like Mel Robbins "I pretended NASA was there"
There is a window that exists between the moment you have an instinct to change and your mind killing it. It’s a 5-second window. And it exists for everyone.
But if you do one simple thing, you can prevent your mind from working against you. You can start the momentum before the barrage of thoughts and excuses hit you at full force.
The counting will focus you on the goal or commitment and distract you from the worries, thoughts, and excuses in your mind.
As soon as you reach “1” – push yourself to move.
This is how you push yourself to do the hard stuff – the work that you don’t feel like doing, or you’re scared of doing, or you’re avoiding.
That’s it. 5 seconds is all it takes.
If you don’t act on an instinct within that 5-second window, that’s it. You’re not doing it.
It’s hard to push yourself. If you want to change, it’s something you MUST do. And the Rule makes it easier.
Just start your countdown. Push yourself to start at 5. Just start counting. That’s it!
Countdown, 5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1 – GO.

This is still sound, practical advice many years later. It sounds silly, but it is true--"5, 4, 3, 2, 1 NOW" or else you won't do it. If you wait until you "feel" like doing it, you never will...you'll *NEVER* feel like doing it!

[mattcunliffe]

I don’t agree….I’m sorry, but if I acted on all ideas that pops into by head I’d be in trouble!

I started counting backwards 54321 to get up and go for a morning walk a few years ago. When I first started I had to keep repeating it to get me out of the house into my car to my walking trail. Then bam did my 3 miles everytime I felt tired I would start counting.
Now I wake up start counting 54321 dress and out of my house it works! I use it to stop negative thinking too. When I feel any kind off pressure from fear I use the 54321. Try it so fun playing with the mind. Thanks Mel R peace!

I though the No.1 habit of Billionaires was to not paying taxes

[chilllife]

I learned about it from a friend who is senior and cracked CA exams all in first attempt, he would always stand at the door of library countdown to 5 hype himself up and would never get out.

Fast forward one year, I cleared Jee exam 🥰

This concept doesn't seem foreign to me, however I never actually did it until this past Sunday. I'm still not using it to its full potential but the times I've done it I actually felt it worked. I was looking for this video to get an explanation on how something so simple can be so effective. This is amazing!

[jessevaldivia]

This is what really made me take massive action to build my father and son business. Unbelievable.

[marryjoyandrada]

Going to do this every morning, and every time I wanted to study but there are still urges to procrastinate.

[EricLaspe]

She’s wrong about at least one thing. I can keep counting down.

5. 4. 3. 2. 1. 0. -1. -2. -3…

[Heelfan]

5, 4, 3, 2, 1 helped me do a few things...Basic things, but its a start

[rubisrose]

I used to use it and it's like magic for me as a great" procrastinating person" it gives my brain the order to move and do what is required without questioning. Try it. It's very simple.

[harrylee]

I wasn’t aware I was doing it in all my success experiences. It does break my frozen inaction spell. Just do it. Genius! Do you know that Nike paid a lot of money 💰 for this catchy slogan … and catapulted Nike to the top worldwide shoe 👟 brand.

[littleblue]

This is also something that is suggested to those battling the temptation to respond in anger. I have never tried it but it really does sound powerful. God bless you all
