Kill Fear in 5 Seconds

I just found an amazing trick in a book called “The 5 Second Rule” from Mel Robbins I wanted to share with you. This trick is about killing your fear to do basically anything in only five seconds time.

If you´re the person who has problems like talking to beautiful woman, introducing yourself to people, raising your hand in class or going for what you wanted to do for so long like making the decision to jump out of a plane or creating a successful business, if you want to be more courageous and more confident, then this is for you!

The trick I am talking about is fairly simple. When you get the feeling that you want to do something like talk to someone you´re interested in or raise your hand in class – the longer you wait to follow your initial feeling, the more likely it is that you won´t do the thing you wanted to do.

Why is it like this?You give your brain the time to stark overthinking, make excuses after excuses and list all the risks that are made up by that thing. “What if I look stupid?” or “What if I get rejected?”.

The trick I am going to show you is real quick, real simple and it does work: Once you know what you want to do, countdown from five to zero and then go do that thing that you want to do like a firework - Countdown and then blast away!

Study after study has proven that this trick works better than anything because it quiets out the negative cloud we carry in us. I know that it might sound silly or way too easy, but it works! We only have a limited amount of willpower, which is drowned by worrying all day long about stuff.

If you just go ahead and do the things you wanted to do, you don’t have to worry about it anymore so you will notice a positive shift in your thoughts if you apply this trick regularly into your life. Another positive effect is obviously that you get some things done instead of worrying and complaining.

This trick has the potential to change your life! Believe me, I am blown away by my own results.

The takeaway:

Just go ahead and do something whenever you have the feeling to do so. Don´t wait!! Why? Because it was your own idea and you wanted to do it, so don’t let fear get in the way between you and your dreams.
