5,4,3,2,1....five second rule for changes~

don't overthink it.  get moving first & then your mindset will follow...

make a decision before your subconscious does!

your subconscious mind is your conscience, the part of your brain that holds you back, double checks, questions, then possibly adapts past behavior and possibly assumes the worst.

the subconscious rules 90% of your thoughts....

and we make 30,000 decisions a day!

it takes a lot of determination to overrule the subconscious.

we wake up, hit the snooze button a few times, wake up and go about our daily routine.

but how do you stick with the plan, stay grateful, keep focused & positive all the time??

it actually all starts with your actions.  actually counting down 5.4.3.2.1. 

no on is motivated to hit the gym.

no one is motivated to get on the phone.

no one is always feeling upbeat.

starting something new is challenging -- we are all a work in progress...

since our minds are predisposed to those safe spaces and places, the easiest thing to do to "keep moving forward" is to actually literally, physically move!!

so next time you consider trying something new, instead of taking a step back, or worrying, try the "five second rule."  count down from 5...and just do it!


this concept was designed by Mel Robbins and is now popular with neuroscientists to interrupt behavior and thought patterns.  according to Mel, "at any moment where you know what you should do, but you hesitate, from anxiety, or fear or past trauma or negative thoughts....if you don't PHYSICALLY move, your subconscious will take over, within five seconds."

immediately counting down "5. 4. 3. 2. 1." ... you can change the behavior or thought pattern and take control of your life.

it's sort of like NIKE ~ "JUST DO IT!"

"MOVE IT OR LOSE IT!"

however you want to look at it, the "five second rule" can literally change your mindset.

and change your life.....

namaste my friends.  namaste.
