Mel Robbins ON: Why You Can’t Stop Procrastinating & How to Eliminate Self-Doubt in 5 Seconds

Mel Robbins chats with Jay Shetty about the High 5 habit and how it can help you come to terms with your real self. How you start your day sets the tone for the rest of your day and immensely affects your confidence and productivity. And seeing that person looking at you in the mirror, your other self, helps you wipe away the dust that’s blocking you from loving your true self.

Mel began her career as a criminal defense attorney in NYC for Legal Aid in 1994, spent 5 years at CNN as a legal analyst, 5 number one audiobooks released on Audible, and 1 Gracie Award: America’s Outstanding News Talk Show Host. Her book, The High 5 Habit, explains the one proven habit that gives you the confidence to transform your life.

Hey YOU, beautiful person reading this...The truth is you are confident and good enough already with who you are, where you are at and what you have right now to have the success you want in life. Don't let others define what “success” is for you. Get up, learn that skill and go after it! I believe in you so much! Have an awesome day! - Love, Nat ❤️

[ayushiveda]

Wow the idea of giving high-five to a mirror and 54321 is just so realistic and can really bring change. love your podcasts jay

[lolydominguez]

So I have been doing this for years. I look in the mirror and am looking and saying to myself all my faults an what I don't like. I will try this to try and change this. Thank you Mel and Jay for bring this to us. I am just a simple person who is learning to love herself.

[merimakepes]

I always need something talking or to watch something to fall asleep. This little "nugget" was amazing for me the very morning I woke up. 54321 and I got up as soon as the alarm rang for the first time in months, dare I say, years without hitting the snooze button even once! The high five was funny and awkward, but I did it ☺️ As long as I can remember to do this every morning, this will be a game-changer. Thank you ♥️
