    The 5 Second Rule

    Uploaded by

    The 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins outlines a simple technique for taking action towards one's goals. The rule states that within 5 seconds of having an impulse to act on a goal, one must push themselves to take physical action or their brain will generate excuses to avoid it. Robbins argues this rule can create lasting behavioral changes by overcoming mental blocks in those 5 seconds between an idea and excuses. It works by "tricking" the brain into doing what it knows it should. The potential impacts of this rule are limited only by one's imagination for improving health, productivity, and overcoming procrastination. It can also help change mental habits of anxiety and build everyday courage to transform one's life.
