How to enrich your life and destroy doubt in five seconds.

Throughout your life, you've had parents, coaches, teachers, friends, and mentors who have pushed you to be better than your excuses and bigger than your fears. What if the secret to having the confidence and courage to enrich your life and work is simply knowing how to push yourself?

Using the science of habits, riveting stories, and surprising facts from some of the most famous moments in history, art, and business, Mel Robbins will explain the power of a "push moment". Then, she'll give you one simple tool you can use to become your greatest self.

It takes just five seconds to use this tool, and every time you do you'll be in great company. More than eight million people have watched Mel's TEDx Talk, and executives inside of the world's largest brands are using the tool to increase productivity, collaboration, and engagement.

In The 5 Second Rule, you'll discover it takes just five seconds to:

• Become confident
• Break the habit of procrastination and self-doubt
• Beat fear and uncertainty
• Stop worrying and feel happier
• Share your ideas with courage

The 5 Second Rule is a simple, one-size-fits-all solution for the one problem we all face - we hold ourselves back.

The secret isn't knowing what to do - it's knowing how to make yourself do it.

Count down 5,4,3,2,1... and do it

The 5-second rule is the moment you have an instinct to act on a goal, count down 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and physically move (or your brain will stop you with an excuse). This starting ritual will help to change many of your behaviors. There are 5-second moments all day long - wake up early, exercise, clean up, organize files, pay the bills, do the laundry, don't have that drink, don't smoke, update your resume, and speak up in a meeting. These are all simple actions that can be done (and you probably had these thoughts a hundred times already). Count 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... do it. This is a better alternative to sitting there and worrying or complaining about it. There is no right time or the feeling of being ready; just count down and do it.

There isn't anything earth-shattering about this advice. If you tried it and it does work for you, read the book to stay motivated and be inspired by stories of other people who have changed their lives.

Great way to start your day!

I listen to just a few min each morning and every day since I started doing this my days have been more productive and focused. 5-4-3-2-1 and buy this book on audible if you haven't. Brainwash yourself to know how very worthy and powerful you are. Stop living in the shadows and break free. As I just wrote this I realized I was talking about myself and so I am off to break free today and reach new horizons I've only dreamed of.

Most Inspiring!

What made the experience of listening to The 5 Second Rule the most enjoyable?

It's refreshing how Mel Robbins doesn't sugar coat anything. She says it exactly how it is, no BS. I immediately started using the 5 second rule even before I finished the book and I can't stop talking about it, sharing it with my friends and family, or finding new ways to use it. In fact I find myself listening to it again. On a side note, there are parts of the recording where Mel obviously screws up and has to repeat herself and start sentences over. She could've edited that out but she didn't and I feel there is something so raw and authentic about that.
