In this video, I am talking about the 5 seconds rule, a rule invented by Mel Robbins, that can help you take action and control in your life and combat self-doubt and procrastination.
So how does it work? As Mel Robbins says, “The moment you have an instinct to act on a goal, you must physically move within 5 seconds or your brain will stop you.”
Therefore, whenever you need to take control of your life and act on a decision, just start counting backwards: 5-4-3-2-1 and go!
It's simple and it works! By doing this, you are taking a deliberate action and activating the prefrontal cortex. This pushes you out of autopilot and lets you take control of your life.
More in my video.
Also, if you are interested in the original TEDx video of Mel Robbins, here's the link. She speaks about the 5 seconds rule towards the end.
As I say in my video, the rule does work for me. What do you think about it? Have you tried it and has it worked for you?
