Week 21 The 5 Second Rule
The thegymking on MKE site posted this video link. It is worth a watch.
ADDED FEB 25TH, 2017 SAT TO POST
Yesterday I learned about the 5 Second Rule. I was asked about a blog post about it, but I did not Know enough to really formula a firm perception of the technique.
I practiced it yesterday. Mel Robbins says that THE counting backward process interrupts the sub process and hesitation factor that ALL humans do immediately with any thought and pushes thought to the frontal cortex where you take action.
According to Robbin’s, The key is interrupting the old to replace with a new response-immediate action without hesitation–GERONIMO. I will keep practicing this really easy and simple techique and let you know what I notice in the future.
I found when I immediately counted backward 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 in the second I would have hesitated, that inserting backward count, I would then follow through with the action of standing up. I was already on my feet so I just did it. I was already moving to Do It Now.
If it happens enough I can see how the auto response will reprogram to become Do It Now. Such a simple, small technique to have such an immediate impact and with less thought and effort.
I really enjoy hearing Mel talk about the science behind this. Check the videos. Her book release Feb 28th, The 5 Second Rule. Her first book already out is Stop Saying You’re Fine: Discover a More Powerful You.
CHECK OUT HER TED TALK BELOW!
I just rewatched the TEDtalk. The 5 Second Rule is about taking any action that will marry the idea you have with action so you will continue to act on it instead of dismissing it or never getting back to it. It makes sense. This jewel comes at the end of the talk.
I guess that would keep one from immediately talking themselves out of it – Yea & Thanks
Thanks for sharing. That is really interesting and such and easy tool to add to our tool box 🙂
Really interesting. Thanks for sharing. I’ll give the 5 second rule a try. 😀

Fun stuff!
Is there a written blog re: 5 seconds?
There may be on Mel Robbins site, the lady in the video, but it is actually The 5 second Rule. I will fix the title–I missed the fact I left that out. She has a book coming out this month with that title. Several videos on YouTube about different things around the 5 Second rule. The last one in list her TED talk video. I got the original link from a post in “Tools for Expanding thread” by user name TheGymKing. I did not write about because I just learned about it but thought it a very worthwhile video to watch. It definitely improved my knowledge and perspective.

Since you ask me about blog post and I have now practice to have some idea of the Rule I added a bit of blog to my post. Thank you for asking and encouraging me to learn and practice so I could say something about it from my own point of view.
