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.
