You want to get something done, but feels like you can't? Well this rule will make you do it whether your goal is to lose weight, to study more or to wake up early. The person behind this rule is Mel Robbins and in her book she define 5 second rule as " If you have an impulse to act on a goal, you must physically move within 5 seconds or your brain will kill the idea". I will explain how I follow that advice in my own way and you can adapt it to your requirement as well. In my case whenever I need to get something done I tell myself now its 6.05pm...I will wait till 6.15... I will wait 10 more minutes... And that 10 minutes never come. When I heard about the 5 second rule I was in bed trying to get up. So I decided to use it with reversed counting. Instead of saying 1,2,3,4,5 and get up I counted 5,4,3,2,1... and I suddenly jumped out of bed. Later I got to know it has a psychological explanation. When we start counting from 1 it can go up to infinity, but when we reverse...

Her father and mother are Charles and Caroline Ingalls, and she had three siblings; Mary, Carrie and Grace. In 1869, they moved from Wisconsin to the Indian country in Kansas after stopping in Missouri. They later moved back to ...
