232: Mel Robbins’ 5 Second Rule
Sometimes we just don’t feel like doing things. In a funny way, we actually feel good about putting something off. There is a way though to outsmart your brain to take action. It’s called the 5 Second Rule, and it’s not the 5-second food rule! It’s the 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins, which is also the title of her book, The 5 Second Rule: Transform Your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage.
On today’s short run episode, I share the following:
What the 5 Second Rule is
How to go about it (Hint: Count down backward from 5)
Why it works
When to use it
What my experience has been with using it—one way that I started using it was to start handing out You Matter cards in person (we talked about the You Matter Marathon™: No Running Required on last week’s episode)
The Runner of the Week, Sarah Baker Andrus, shares the following:
How in the beginning, running was a way to keep her weight down in her 40s
How it involved running two half marathons in big gambling cities (Atlantic City and Las Vegas)
Why she isn’t running as much now, and how she has reframed what running is to her
How she counsels her career coaching clients to make sure they are taking care of themselves from a physical and mental perspective
