      Mel Robbins is one of my favourite speakers, I love her books including the more recent one ‘The High Five Habit’ she is brilliant she keeps it real , honest and vulnerable as does Steven so this interview is just a match made in heaven, one of his best interviews in my humble opinion! Keep them coming Steven I’m so excited to see what you have planned for the next few weeks and for 2022 🤩

      Loneliness also takes a toll on health. It may take a while but it definitely shortens ones life. I thought I was lonely just being single for yrs after my son's mom left me out of the blue but once my parents both died within a yr after loosing grandma a yr before that's when it got real. I'm an introvert so enjoy alone time but not all of it. I do have a son but only see him every couple weeks due to visitation rights. He will be 18 soon and plans to go to college in another state. The thing I miss the most is touch as that's how I feel love. I have improved myself all these years and tried the online dating thing. It's not what it was in the beginning. I've made no progress but I remember yrs ago when online dating was new it was very easy to find a date. I'm not sure why it's changed for the worst but for society I don't think it's good. I read an article the other day saying we have a mental health crisis coming and a loneliness one as well. They said it would be a few yrs but is fast approaching. God help us! 🙏

    This whole episode deserves at least 3 replays till it gets embedded in ones head. Before this video I already knew Mel Robbins and her 5 second rule and the high five strategy but her view point on manifestation, visualisation and feeling 'stuck' literally answered a years worth of my questions. I now understand why I've been feeling like shit and what I need to do.

      @@now591 honestly I feel absolutely great! Been a solid good year of growth and consistency especially towards health and fitness. But I only feel this way because of visualisation and consistency. All I’m saying is that if you want something as bad as you want to breathe than you gotta put in the work EVERYDAY! These motivational speakers that come with strategy just chat bs. Be real with yourself. Find out what you want in life and be delusional confident and put in the work. That’s the only equation that I’ll ever follow

      everyone i know suffers from incredible anxiety. we cannot meet as a family or friends due to riggers so we all live very separate lives. Most of us (about 80%) have now stopped working due to our anxiety and afraid of the triggers. It is dreadful. We have gone from a huge family of wonderful get togethers to the last five years of everyone having anxiety and no contact at all.

    Notes and quotes from this podcast:
    "Anyone is capable of achieving anything if they put their mind to"
    "The bigger the problem, the smaller the solutions are. The bigger the dream, the smaller the actions that you need to start taking. "
    " The window of hesitation defines your whole life, it is about 5 seconds long and that is where anxiety, hesitation and imposter syndrome live"
    " No Human being is born hating themself, we are wired for love and connection"
    " Being excited and being nervous are the exact same feeling, but the only difference is what your brain is thinking is happening"
    " Understanding what is the trigger for the bad feeling is what will help you prevent it"
    " Your brain learns pattern, which is where you should focus in fixing your patterns"

    Dear Mel, You've touched me. I've had a similar molesting experience. I came out after it experience and knew if I told my parents about it, I would be blamed for it because that is how my mother always treated me. I relate totally with you. I have been living in fear all of my 71 years of life. FEAR controls me to this day. Now I have the answers. I can now live the rest of my days better. I have spent my life trying to fix me. With you, I have directions to follow now. Thank you.

    I owe my confidence to you mel, I am a chronic procrastinator, in my 37 years of life always strugged with punctuality, discipline, waking up late kept hitting the snooze button 10 times. I hated myself, played the victim game but also wanted to have big in life, big dreams, but never really mustered the courage to pursue them. I never even shared my dreams with anyone coz always felt people are gonna laugh at me. People always thought and I think they still do that I am a fool, can't do even a small work without messing up and I believe d them that yes I really can't. Today after listening you I realized I also went through sexual and physical abuse in my childhood days. Which my nervous system has recorded . My parents also never took pride in me because they thought I am not pretty and smart enough. Rather they always pulled me down, discouraged and ignored and embarrassed me even in front of other people and I never raised my voice against it coz I thought this is what i deserve. I was ashamed of myself in so many ways. Even I was good at so many things I never really valued myself and always focused on what I didn't have. People always made fun of me, and always always always mistreated me made me feel small good for nothing and I didn't even realize d it because it normal for me. At times when I even felt bad didn't talk back because I was really scared of people that they will start scolding me in front of others which will add to my misery. After going through crores and lakhs of self help videos I watched yours and I finally got my answer which I searched for 37 years. I always knew thers something in me which needs to be addressed and corrected my overthinlinh, time management etc but didn't understand what was the reason behind. But today I understood there's nothing physical thing stopping me, but my thoughts. I am capable of so many things but because of my past experiences . I think I can't do anything right. Till now I had this false belief that I can't do the dishes every night before going to bed and also clean the kitchen every night. But after watching you u have been doing this since 15 days consistently Thank you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    I started the high five this morning. I've started it at least 10 times over the last year and never followed through because I didn't feel anything. Today I felt something. Many important parts of this interview flashed through my mind. And when I finished my high five, I stood staring in the mirror. I saw that my handprint was very clearly there. I apologised to myself, for not being there for me. I was massaging my sore hands as I stood there. I looked down at my hands in the mirror and realized that this is another self affirming action. Soothing and comforting my joints that have gotten me through so much. Seeing that in the mirror really did something for me. It hit home. I was the observer. Observing that person over there, showing themself kindness and working to bring relief. High five is not the only thing that we can do in the mirror. What else? Suggestions?

    I’m in shock! Her description of her 6th grade camp anxiety that was everyday is exactly, EXACTLY, what I lived from the age of 18-22
    It began with upset stomach, couldn’t eat bc i felt so anxious and panic attacks started happening daily and it was all fear of what horrible things could happen! Then the fear of throwing up and what if it happens in public and the humiliation and disgust people would look at me with and feel towards me! I carried a little bottle of rubbing alcohol with me in my purse everyday to sniff to help with the chronic nausea! I was severely underweight. It had nothing to do with body image, i was just so freaking scared of everything that so literally could not swallow more than a couple bites of food a day!
    I too had a horrible fear of flying and now I LOVE it! I think of what fun I’m gonna have once I arrive!
    Somehow I’ve been able to heal and help myself similarly to how Mel has!
    It’s basically learning how to control your thoughts once you realize you can and doing it!
    I had tremendous emetophobia my entire childhood and into adulthood due to bad car sickness as a kid! The embarrassment and shame carried into my 30s!
    I don’t think it’s entirely gone, but I am careful about what I eat and how much to avoid it.

    I thought I was all finished with therapy. I was cured.
    Then we retired. I sold my business. We've been in our own little version of heaven for a little over a year.
    Suddenly, all these childhood issues have been coming back to the surface. WTF?! I don't want to go to therapy anymore!
    Triggers. I just want them to GO AWAY. My SA history is to the point of being boring, I've discussed it in therapy so many times.
    A few nights ago, i was very physically uncomfortable. I realized I've spent the majority of my adulthood avoiding physical discomfort. To the point that my house is my own paradise, i don't want to leave. I might get uncomfortable.
    It occurred to me to stop running. To feel the discomfort and just sit in it for a while. I need to heal my body, not just my mind.
    Who knew "I AM" would be the answer to it all? Terrific!
    Thank you for the information. 🙏💖🙏

    I have heard of Mel and her 5 seconds rule for a long time, but never listen to her for the almost 2 hours. She is incredible. The last 30 minutes can’t be missed. When she said something like just do what you do, ignore the validation. One day you will be rewarded appropriately, this resonates with me so much. I learned a hard way you have to know where you worth most and be in that environment.

    This CD has three separate relaxation/meditation sessions on it ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq guided by a very pleasant and direct male voice. Unlike so many other products of its type, this CD does not have bad synthesizer music, does not feature a phony or affected style of narration, and does not make any bogus claims to be subliminal or to re-train the brain or any of that balderdash. What you get is 1. a guided meditation for getting into a pleasantly relaxed state of body awareness while taking a stroll (superb for those easing back into a fitness routine slowly after an illness or injury) 2. A nice long breath-awareness relaxation session that if followed diligently can put you into very deep states of full-body relaxation and mental calmness, and 3. a buddhist-inspired meditation session designed to help you develop and maintain feelings of loving kindness toward not just yourself and your friends, but toward people you don't even like. The CD makes no claims to be designed for advanced meditators or for buddhists or hindus/yoga practitioners looking for very deep and esoteric stuff. It is geared more toward the average person who just wants to develop the habit of relaxation and stress relief through natural, healthy means. him, if you happen to be reading this, keep up the good work fella, and I love your accent. I would also like to note that I have never fallen asleep while listening to this product. I would like to kindly suggest to the reviewer who said this CD makes him fall asleep, that he might want to get checked to see if he has a sleep disorder, or if he is simply not setting aside ample time for restful sleep at night. A healthy person getting adequate rest at night should be able to go into deep states of mental relaxation without dozing off, if not all the time, then most of the time.

    Loved the episode. At the tail end, she said she partook in guided MDMA ceremonies. As a personal connoisseur and advocate of psychedelics, so much of what Mel pushes (her healing) is a byproduct of those MDMA sessions. I can say with confidence so much of my healing is attributed to MDMA and other psychedelics, and that’s the shortcut ticket to the self love she preaches. To be fully okay with who you are and to accept yourself is the greatest gifts psychedelics have given me. I wish she spoke more on this!!! Love you Mel.

    Thank you so much for interviewing Mel Robbins. She is BRILLIANT - AWESOME and everything in between, and you have the ability which few interviewers have to LISTEN and bring the best out of people you interview. You are able to shut up and let them talk! Few interviewers can do this. As to The New York Times.... I am English, they really hate the UK and dis everything about us. Of course they didn't put Mel Robbins' best selling book on their best selling book list. OK, she's not English, but they are so far up their own fundament that they think their opinion matters. It doesn't!! NYT is a dinosaur. They are not with the times. They're extinct. They just don't know how unimportant and uninteresting they are now. Love Mel, and always follow your podcasts Stephen. Keep up your brilliant and always interesting work. xx ❤ ❤❤

    I feel like I related a lot to what Mel was describing as her response to the traumatic event from her childhood. I have a really delayed panic response. When I get into a scary situation in a car, I don't have that nervous sensation that is being described but instead I go cold. In the case of a car, I do appreciate the extra control this affords me because I am actually really good at defensive driving thanks to this, but it also means I am always stuck dealing with the danger after. I will pull myself out of a scary car situation and then about 5 minutes after the danger passes, I will be hit with all those nervous feelings I didn't feel in the moment, and I do not get the "truck driving away" moment because the truck is long gone.

I lost my son in 2020 right as Covid started up. I know I need to speak with a therapist; I don’t recognize myself right now so I’m reaching out. I’m mad & and I can’t do this any longer. I have to have peace. I am feeling like a can of repellant right now. So with the hopeless feeling, I can relate - so many other things you said, and I know in my case you’re exactly right. I already feel my confidence rising. Thank you for opening my ears ,heart & mind.

Every year same story, then I went to university in different city.. I was so depressed, I couldn’t do anything I was trying to cut my wrists.. feeling like the lost boat in sea. I couldn’t study couldn’t do anything. You explained me.. when I was 5-6 , we went to holiday and mum had to leave please earlier because of her work. Left me with dad to have more sunshine and sea. He got drunk and malested me. Now everything is logical for me. My attachment to mum.. Im just scared feeling in danger without her. Goodness!

She explained the eating, not-eating unhealthy cycle so easy. We often think it’s how we eat or what we are eating when in fact all we have to do is slow down and work with our minds and breath.
    Thank you for posting and interviewing!
