Steal my 5-minute rule
Here’s your weekly drop of health news, tips, and insights to keep you always moving toward your highest level of wellness and abundance.
Enjoy…
Ever noticed how the hardest part of ANY task is just getting started?
This is especially true when it comes getting active again after years of being mostly sedentary, cutting out that oh so addictive sugar, or finding healthy ways to deal with stress.
Whether it’s making a healthy dinner, going for a run, logging in for that 10-minute Italian lesson, doing the mobility stretches you promised yourself you were going to do, or opting for an apple instead of a chocolate bar…
The anticipation is almost always worse than the actual DOING.
👉 That’s where the “5-minute rule” comes in handy.
This rule is simple…
Commit to doing whatever task you’re avoiding for just 5 minutes.
That’s it.
If you don’t want to keep going after 5 minutes, no problem.
But odds are…
You’ll want to keep going!
Why does this work so well?
Because movement creates momentum.
Tony Robbins says, “People who succeed have momentum. The more they succeed, the more they want to succeed, and the more they find a way to succeed.”
So if you take that first small step — even just for five minutes — you’re setting off a positive chain reaction.
If you need some ideas, you can:
- Commit to a 5-minute walk after lunch
- Spend 5 minutes planning your next few meals
- Do a 5-minute stretch or meditation
There are no wrong answers!
Either way, you’re making progress as long as you take that first step.
