I was working the other day and wanted to learn more about the 5-second rule, while I had used some of this in my life I wanted to know more. The video below has one of my favorite people, Lewis Howe, just a down to earth person that I am learning so much from in regards to the people he brings on his show.
The 5 second rule as it is called, worked for me before I even knew the science behind it, when I was playing that same abuse over and over in my head, at one point I would allow myself 5 seconds to think about it, then forced myself to think of something positive like my beautiful son, the candle on the shelf, a song I liked, anything to get the image and thoughts that were negative out of my head.
Sounds too simple, but it works for me and can work for you.
I encourage you to watch the entire video as there was wisdom along the way, Mel Robbins, the woman that wrote the 5 second rule book talks about the science around it but the reason I wanted to share it was because she talks honestly about depression and not being able to take action, almost losing her marriage, her life.
