Motivational Monday!
The 5 Second Rule!!!
By a show of hands (haha), who has heard of Mel Robbins??? If you have, isn't she GREAT!!! If you haven't, please check her out on one of the links below!!! I think you will love her!!! She is an author, a public speaker, podcast host and starting today, she has her own talk show!
She has written a book called The 5 Second Rule. It is an amazing way to jump start your life in the direction you want it to go. So what is the 5 second rule that Mel Robbins writes about?
In summary....
If you don't start doing the things you don't feel like doing, you will wake up one year from today and be in exactly the same place. So here's the one-liner definition of the 5 Second Rule: If you have an impulse to act on a goal, you must physically move within 5 seconds or your brain will kill the idea. ~ Mel Robbins
Here is a quick clip to the 5 second rule from a Mel Robbins Tedx Talk.
And here is a longer (1 hour) Podcast that Mel Robbins did with Lewis Howes.
So, when you feel like taking a step toward one of your goals, just do it!!! Don't let your brain talk you out of it. Don't let your brain 'kill' the idea (as Mel states).
Build the life that you want in your mind! Once you have a clear picture of that life, take the steps every day to build the reality that you want. Your reality starts with you! You have the power!
Annnnd yeeeeees, I've been asked... "you're a Realtor, why are you writing a blog titled 'Motivational Monday'?" To answer the question... Over the years, I've run into many different people, all with very different personalities. I've found that people that have an optimistic and positive outlook on life are happier people. I want to do my part to empower others to be positive. I want to do my part to empower others to believe in the power of affirmations. I want to do my part to help people believe in themselves again. I want to do my part to make the world a happier place... even if it's just for one person, I will have made a difference.
Have a Blessed Week! Remember, Success is yours if you are willing to work for it!!!
