High 5 Habit: amzn.to/3fMvfPQ
The 5 Second Rule: amzn.to/3372Rl9
The breakdown:
1. Intentional Pause: Take deliberate breaks, like sitting by running water in a forest, to rejuvenate your mind and body. Even a five-minute pause can be restorative.
2. Engage with Nature: Find a patch of nature or incorporate natural elements into your surroundings. Small plants or a water fountain at home can provide similar benefits if you can't access a forest.
3. Daily Practice: Spend a few minutes daily absorbing your natural environment, no matter how small. This practice counters the energy drain of modern life.
4. Impact of Colors: Colors influence mood and behavior. Blues and greens are calming, while red can make you feel strong and dominant. Use this knowledge to create supportive environments.
5. Mirrors and Self-Reflection: Mirrors make you more introspective and thoughtful, helping deter bad habits by forcing you to confront your actions.
6. Time Dilation through Engagement: Activities that stretch time, like being in nature or having meaningful conversations, help you feel more connected and less rushed.
7. Physical Activity: Movement can reset your sense of time and provide a break from a sedentary, screen-focused lifestyle, enhancing well-being.
8. Clutter-Free Environment: Reduce workspace clutter to enhance focus and creativity. A clear environment reduces distractions and improves productivity.
9. Screen Time Boundaries: Set specific times daily to disconnect from screens, reclaiming time and improving mental health. An hour without screens can be very beneficial.
10. Recognize and Replace Habits: Identify unfulfilling habits like mindless scrolling and replace them with enriching activities to develop healthier habits and improve your quality of life.
Thank you so much
Thank you for taking the time to break it down😍
You are my friend! Thanks for summarizing
Youre a lifesaver! Thank you!
SO HELPFUL! Thank you 🫶🏻
Awesome info! 72-year-old grandma and have been stuck off and on throughout life. Big Takeaway is to experiment with what you like to do Experimenting with different ideas and taking the pressure off. Really appreciate this podcast at this time in my life. Thank you.
Oh yeah, 40 minutes into this! Set the bar low and just start. That is the key to progress. Let go of ego and BEGIN.
I noticed that twice your guest looked directly at the audience and gave the very important information. I’ll probably rewatch this podcast with a piece of paper to write the info down. I love these podcasts. Thank you, Mel!!
I liked what he said at the very end, that you're either exploring your options, or focusing on one idea, but you can't do both at once. Oh. I'm doing both at once, and flailing.. Aha.
Flailing or failing😂i am doing both!
I feel I’m flailing in water most days & anytime soon I’ll drown 😢
@@darnitthelma4247You won’t, my friend, you have the sense to listen to an hour long podcast!!
I'm right there with you flailing & failing lol.

Being a perfectionist, I have a hard time starting because of my fear of not doing it perfectly! This was great motivation to start it "badly"...just a brilliant idea 💡 👏
Agree loved his book
It's hard to create your future nowadays, especially when everything is so unobtainable nobody can pay bills anymore. Will never reach your full potential because the system has us locked in for life in this cycle of crap.
I respectfully disagree. Change your mindset. We live in a time where opportunity is literally a click away on your computer. The marketplace is the world, not just your local town or city. 😊
Please don't get swept away in discouragement!❤ The news, social media,ect. likes to feed into how bad it is to get views. Not denying...we are in challenging times, BUT during these times it's the perfect time to "think outside the box" and be creative in ways to go after those goals. Write down those goals...they're important to you! Next column write what would be the traditional way of getting there...THEN in third column think creatively no matter how crazy it may sound ways to go after those goals...don't dismiss any ideas...just write them down. Then review those new ideas and put a step by step plan of using ANY of those creative ways to do them.
My example...paying for college. Everyone around me said only way to pay was student loans. I applied and couldn't get approved (the rules at the time had to be 24 or married). I didn't want to wait till I was 24, so I came up with a way to pay: One semester 3 classes work part time, next semester no classes work full time. My living arrangements were crazy...roommates, share apartment with friend, stayed with my grandfather,ect. But it worked...got my bachelor's with NO student loan debt.😊
😊some people can be on the marketplace for health reason... it add a layer of difficulty in changing things. Not saying it’s not possible. It is, but you need to be resilient and mentally strong.
yea unless we wanna live out of our car lol
Not gonna lie I don't understand these comments. I don't know what the marketplace means.
MEL, YOU’RE THE BEST!! 💗
Thank you so much for all your amazing content! 🫶🏼
I’ve been listening/watching your podcast since it first started.
You’re so relatable and ALWAYS give the best advice. The way you speak to us (your listener’s) with such honesty and care, it sounds like it’s coming from your best friend. ❤
Thanks Mel!! I appreciate you so much!

I've felt stuck for most of my life, mostly re: career. I wanted to be a commercial pilot but couldn't due to hearing loss. I "fell into" a legal assistant career. I didn't really enjoy most aspects of it. In 2017, at the age of 58, I visited London & wanted to live there permanently. The only way to move there permanently was to change my career. I enrolled in a digital animation course in London. I was thrilled to finally have a sense of direction & no longer felt stuck. The Nov. 2019 intake was delayed due to low enrollment, so they put me in the June 2020 intake. COVID happened, the course was cancelled & I moved back to America. (They no longer offer the course.) I've been stuck ever since. I'm almost 66 years old. I don't want to go back into the legal field. It's soul draining. I don't have a car; can't afford one, so I've been looking for remote work, but it's been tough.
Love you, mel robbins, and your respectful team and special guests ❤️ ❤️ ♥️
You’re words keep me going, I been through rough times 😢
I'm going to listen to this a few times. I've been feeling stuck for years!
Omg! I’m in this situation exact situation- where I started a new job with a higher salary - I was very excited and still am but I’m feeling stuck and drained. It was good to hear that people can feel stuck even with good changes.
It’s happened to me.
And it feels like pretty much every time, but life-quakes also sometimes travel in packs… so who knows what actually happened way back when.
Hang in there, you can figure it out!
Feeling financially stuck in a toxic marriage, gonna try these tips to help myself get out. Thank u
I’m not alone atleast
Love these tips. They have been helping me keep my sanity through lots of life changes.
Wow this was exactly what I needed. Thank you
This podcast is gold. Learned a lot Thank you!
Good morning Mel, I needed to hear from you, thank you so much, I love you ❤
I really needed this.
Thank you so much, Mel.
Thank you Mel! I ❤ this podcast I feel sooo stuck it’s even harder when you are the only income! I am mainly stuck when it comes to my career I am not happy in it at all but I have to be grateful to have one.
Phenomenal episode! ❤️
Wow! What a wonderful episode, Mel! Dr Alter is great but this was so wonderful because you knew exactly what and how to ask so that we could get the most of his information! Thank you, thank you THANK YOU! 🙏🏻 ❤
Yes. Can and do get stuff done. I am tackling further education and I am taking more classes. Taking steps towards the life I desire. Something I am struggling with is letting go of unhealthy relationships. That is a tough one for me. I maneuver around the relationship like it is my fork in the road. It is exhausting, but I will not put my progress on hold.
Mel asked a great question about the pride of not wanting others to be right. I really wish he would’ve answered that question.
FANTASTIC information!! Thank you! 💖
What a great, motivating & validating episode!
I really enjoyed you and Adam. Thanks
First time through. This is insanely spot on.
Thank-you Mel!!!! xoxoox

Love this content ❤
Love all of your videos and the guests
Awesome information that I really needed!
LOVE YA MEL
Watching from Panama. My husband and I moved here from Arizona over 2 years ago. I still have issues with my life, and I feel stuck sometimes, but I live in a place I truly love. The temps are 52 to 82 year round. If the weather is something you don't like, you can change that. Getting his book on Audible. Thanks again Mel
Definitely learnt a new word
So important to get that message out there! ❤
I listened to the podcast but wanted to leave a comment.
This is so good and insightful.
My biggest takeaway is that we should not stay in our feelings. But instead take small steps towards the life we want.
Focus on elevating negatives rather than adding up positives, mannnn it hits the right spot 👌🏼
GREAT discussion, i got a Lot of inspiration to follow up on Dr Alters' teachings.
Which book of his' is relevant to this podcast please ?
Dr alter speaking off Smoothing put the rough places reminds me of this scripture... Isaiah 40:4-5 New King James Version (NKJV)
Every valley shall be exalted And every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough places smooth; The glory of the LORD shall be revealed, And all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”
A great and a very inspiring Topic ❤❤

"what is the way to get unstuck?" "The first one is to f-"
Perfect intro👌
What are the 3 things?!
Mel, I'm 55 and would love to collaborate with you.
Part of it is opportunity. Like if you wanna move to new place, but you have to sacrifice being broke and working at starbucks to do so.
Potential? I thought it was gas!

First to comment😌
Divorce is never the way out, My wife and I have been having issues before I sort out help from a spiritual adviser,i wasn't going to let my marriage of 18years crash
amazing,i am kinda in a similar situation,how did you handle it?
well not the orthodox way but i was referred by a friend to a spiritual adviser and healer
please how can i get in touch with the spiritual adviser?
her name is Quelani Eileen Freja, and she is a great spiritual adviser as well as caster
you can look her name up online and you will find all you need.
I honestly do like the guest she has... But it irritates me that she always interrupt her guest.
Please, let your guests speak..you are taking over, its stressful and not helpful
She is clarifying things and asking questions that I would ask too! It’s a conversation not a lecture.
I agree with the fact that Mel takes over
I would like for the person being interviewed being given the opportunity to talk a bit more.16:13
Where the hell do you find those three different people Mr. That’s a stuck by itself !
