Five Second Rule

Mel Robbins' method for overcoming procrastination and self-doubt in key moments.

  • Identify the moment - when you're procrastinating or have self-doubt about taking action
  • Count backwards - five, four, three, two, one
  • Physically move - take action before your brain can stop you
  • Body overrides brain - prevents overthinking and analysis paralysis
  • Works universally - can apply to approaching people, making decisions, taking risks
