Here's My Advice for Anyone Who's Feeling STUCK | Mel Robbins

—

Chapter 10 is the true story of a 25 year old Uber driver in Dallas, with a dream of being an Oscar winning actor who creates opportunities for other Black and Latino men who want to be actors. I was his passenger and when he learned that I was about to launch a daytime talk show, he asked me for advice on achieving his dream. Naturally, I asked him a question - “if you dream of being an actor, what on earth are you doing in Dallas?”

And then...the real coaching (er...ass-kicking begins!)

Eduardo had $700 in his bank account, a friend with a couch he could crash on in LA and nothing keeping him in Dallas. He wasn’t only driving in circles in Dallas - he was talking in them! He had nothing but excuses and fear, which I was having none of it.

Chapter 10 is where I teach you how to flip your fear into a high five attitude. I show you how to get out of your way and start moving toward what you want. And how, using a notebook, a three week timeline and some simple science - you can stop thinking and get moving on your goals too.

Yes, the universe will send you signs. But YOU need to follow them. When you finally take that leap - THAT’S when the crazy magical stuff happens.

Want to read, or listen to Chapter 10? Good. You should. It’s exactly what you need to hear too. If, like Eduardo and Rachel, you’ve got big goals and you are frustrated with your lack of movement - it’s time to look yourself in the mirror, get honest about what you WANT, and make it happen. #High5Habit

Your self worth is getting up, showing up and doing the things that scare you but you love to do.

Some solid words, love this Mel...

[DestinyDiamond]

I love when you said, "Your album may not get a million downloads, you may not change anyone's life, but the point of doing it anyway is that there is something inside you that currently dies if you don't. It's not about the album, it's about giving yourself the permission, the self worth/selflove, and having that part of you come alive and be expressed."

For me the issues are the fear of not being able to put food on the table for the kids. Right now my life belongs to my job and my family with very little time for myself. I'm stuck in a cycle and it's burning me out. Thanks for these videos letting me know that there's still hope.

[EdzDayuha]

i'm crying watching this, i feel like Mel Robbins is speaking straight to my heart, empowering my almost discouraged soul...

[ridita]

My biggest dream is now to recover from post-covid. I'm constantly tired and doing my everyday job is a big burden.

[OnThisPlanetForFun]

I agree with this thinking and that’s what has led to me releasing two books and creating my own YouTube channel. I put myself out there and whatever happens from here is up to forces bigger than me, but I have the satisfaction of doing it.

I quit my business last year, I hated my life. I spent 12 months doing a post graduate course on compassion and mindfulness at the age of 55. I am starting a blog October helping people understand life through my past mistakes and what I have learnt. Also starting a YouTube making films about wonderful people living their own lives; my first film is two weeks. Haven't learnt a single penny but buzzing albeit very scared.

[Calvin.The.Unfindable]

I loved this video, it resonated with me so much, as always. I found over the past couple of years listening to Mel's encouragement, I managed to start being creative and having my voice heard. I have wanted to start video's for 8 years, finally I found the courage and inspiration to start on my journey of discovery. I say this to myself every day now -

By daring to start creating, you have already succeeded. be proud of all the numbers - even the tiny ones - we all have to start somewhere, don't wait to be at thousands to be proud, be proud every time someone

Mel has been, and continues to be a massive inspiration, guide & super supportive of us all.

[NightNekomata]

Yeah, when I do the things I want to do, I have a similar feeling of being selfish. I feel like I have to take care of everyone else in my family, even to the point of having absolutely no free time, otherwise, I'm a bad person.
I guess I just need to remind myself that I am just as important as everyone else and I also deserve happiness and to be taken care of :)

[tammydunnettleadership]

THIS story about Eduardo was amazing!! The ability for people to put into motion and follow their dreams -the reality of retracting and pulling back when fear comes in - it can be so overwhelming when we have not seen someone else do it before us - envision your future, find people who are already doing it - if you feel the excitement and vibrations of joy - you are on t. e right path!

[antje]

One year later and Mel's Podcast really is number 1 ....!!!!

[dr.apoorva]

Thank u I was feeling the same resistance, n was feeling dead, by not doing what I really want to do, because of the apprehension that I will succeed or not, wasn't living in my present moment, because of the fear of failure !!!

U told exactly what I have doing !!

Thank u 🥰🥰

[SeraphinaPekkala]

You are right. 2 weeks ago I spontaneously quit my job, because it was unbearable. 1 week later I knew that I was going to move into a total different career direction. A direction that I always wanted to go, but gave up a long time ago. Now everything is falling into place and I am going to do what I always wanted to do and everything started with a really heartbreaking day at the office, where I thought everything was against me... actually everything was for me, I just didn't know it yet.

[hansonel]

This is great since I'm stuck currently wanting to go in a direction I've been wanting to for years but am afraid of failing. "You have to let go about what's going to happen." Such great advice about self worth, being your authentic self and doing the things your scared to do but love. It reminds me of a quote from Barbara Sher: "Feel the fear and do it anyway."

Can't wait till Mel launches her podcast.

[michelleboustani]

Wow. Perfect timing to hear this. Thanks Mel. And thanks for being real and showing you're just like the rest of us💕

[michelleetoile]

Thank you Mel for this! As I was on the fence on how to give my notice as it really needed to be done, after watching your video, I listened to jazz music and just sent in my notice!!!

[abigailcross]

I had something last year (an interview with a well-known man) that spoke so loudly to me. Now, I am an author and building my public profile slowly but surely. You, Mel, are also one of the top people I have put in my "circle" to kick me up the butt when I need it, and you do so thank you for every piece of advice you put out into the world for me and others to hear. I love you Mel 💖💖💖💖

[luckystarpiano]

Mel, I am literally crying!!! So so so amazing& helpful 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️ I felt like I was taking off in 2019!!!2 sold out Carnegie halls, successful new CD release… and then Covid happened and I hit the wall! Since the first week of the lockdown, I started weekly little livestream concerts on my FB page, and still going strong 75 weeks later— my biggest issue is I feel like it all means nothing, and no matter how hard I try to get the industry to notice I am doing this, they have their blinders on!! I don’t know of any other classical pianist playing one different program a week live but I just can’t get pass the small lovely following and reach the “gate keepers” who can help me get to the higher levels!! Anyway….. thank you for this! Thank you so much for the reminder❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 can’t tell you how much I needed this! Love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[LifeOfDanDan]

Thank you for this! My passion is cooking and adventure so A few years back I opened up a food truck (Orale taco grille)and have only been running it part time because I’m scared to dive in 100% But I found myself not having anytime for anything Because I also work a full-time job which I have always despised but I’ve never had the guts to leave due to my fear of not making it in my business but after hearing this I’m going to quit my job and dive 100% into my business thank you!

[LittleTut]

Getting stuck thinking about that thing you want to do and not moving forward to get there because of fear and lack of confidence, can be a game killer. 🙏🏽
