Hey friends. Want to know what this is? Well, read along. The mind-blowing tip to bring an immense change in your life. You might be wondering why I mostly talk about life. That’s because I’m into fixing mine and maybe some of you out there are looking for the same. Ok, so ready, steady- GO.

Whenever your instincts tell you what you should do, then 5-4-3-2-1 and DO IT!

Otherwise, your brain will stop you…

Quite a meaningful thing, isn’t it? Using this 5-second rule, you can bring major and minor changes to your life. Start by applying this to get up early in the morning. You can also use this rule to

Change a behaviour

Avoid procrastination

In relationships, careers, workdays

In everyday acts of courage

Now that you know what to do, let me explain to you how this works? Whenever you tend to do something to reach a goal- may it be a task or a habit, your brain stops you from doing it.

Why does our brain Stop Us?

Because it’s a sort of enemy. It wants to push you back when you decide to accomplish something. It wants you to quit, delay or procrastinate. Although it can be friendly at times. Nevertheless, it wants to keep you in your comfort zone- and this is a losing place! You can never win in your comfort zone. You have to get out of it even by using force.

You are hardwired to do those things easily which are familiar to you and your brain. Relaxing, Eating and watching TV, chatting with friends come to you without any trouble. But, if you want to achieve something, then you have to fight your brains tendencies.

Whenever you think of changing yourself (taking a brave step or doing something big) for the better, the other side of your brain gets activated and looks for possibilities contrary to the requirement. So your brain tricks you in many ways to stop you from taking any action. It makes you ponder over your situation for a certain length of time that eventually you give up and decide not to do whatever you ought to do in the first place.

Hesitation is the killer of dreams. So is overthinking. It creates doubts in ourselves making us less likely to do what we ought to do. As said before, our brain always wants us in ‘safe mode, so it thinks of what failures could happen or why we shouldn’t do something. It creates in us the fear of failure. The longer you think about something, the greater the disharmony between your true instincts and your mind.

How to Use the 5-Second Rule in Our Lives

Morning is Starter

Control your waking up early. As soon as your alarm sets off and your eyes open, countdown in your mind 5-4-3-2-1 and shoot up. Force yourself out of your duvets. Any delays will send you back under the covers into a deep slumber.

After this get to work immediately. Don’t use electronics or any gadgets because that will make you lose your focus. This is a common issue with youth nowadays and they seriously have to get rid of it. Using too many cell phones is a counter-productive habit.

Take 2-3 minutes brainstorming and prioritizing your tasks. Have a deadline for your day. You’ll complete a task within a certain time. This helps you to concentrate better. The morning 2-3 hours are the most productive so take maximum benefit from it.

Sleep Chemistry

Do you know that you sleep in cycles lasting 90-110 minutes each? When your eye opens in the morning that is when a cycle has ended and your body is preparing for getting up This is the right time to get up!

And if you doze off again, you’ll be in another sleep cycle. You can only get up feeling fresh when a sleep cycle has completely ended. If you wake up 15 minutes later, your poor mind will still be sleeping! Then you’ll be in sleep inertia for the next 4 hours.

 

You’ll find your passion if you have the courage to explore!

1)      Curiosity is the first sign of passion

2)      If you feel envious or jealous of a subject, then go deeper into it. What is it that you actually want?

3)      Then explore the reason- read books, watch videos, have conversations

4)      If you fail after trying that's OK. The worst thing is to become overage and regret that you didn’t go for it.

 

Never Leave Anything Important Unsaid

If something is really very important to you, the worst thing you can do is to hide it and regret it later. Don’t leave things unsaid or unexpressed, whether it is in a career, business or relationship. Never fear rejection or upsetting someone. This rule will help you find the potential in you. It will lead you to your opportunities.

This 5-second rule is all about pushing yourself to make a change even if you don’t feel like it. “Humans are Feeling Machines that Think.” We make decisions based on our feelings rather than on logic. So we have to conquer these feelings and ACT otherwise we’ll fail. When you have to do something, just don’t think about how you feel about it. Don’t wait for the right time, right opportunity because there is none.

It’s now or never

If you fear or panic, your mind will find a reason to validate this easy behavior. If it finds one-you’ll RELAX. So, the more you choose courage, the more you’ll likely to succeed.
