    This woman is a genius. One thing that I've come up with in recent years is that yea, I never FEEL like eating healthy or exercising and it's so easy (especially when I've struggled with it my whole life pretty much) to just fall back into that comfy zone. The comfort zone is a myth, it's more like a death zone...it will KILL YOU slowly. I say, don't think, not on this type of stuff...just do...do what you know you need to do to improve yourself no matter how you "feel" because otherwise, you will always be trapped in that death zone AKA the comfort zone.

      Your response Resonates so much with me. Very confident in my ideas but reluctant to put it into action. I have constant negative thought of failure on ideas I know should work.
      Over the years I’ve told close friends of several and to see them succeed on my idea has placed me in an emotional rut. It felt like a breach in confidence going behind my back to spearhead something they never thought of and ending a lifelong friendship over monetary gain without my inclusion. I no longer share my ideas but hoard them silently without action for fear of rejection or failure, especially financial failure. I can truly relate to this interview wholeheartedly.

      That is awesome. My dad grew up in the very cold Midwest. The only food they had was what they grew on the farm. Nine kids, and a dad who beat the boys regularly. My mother told me after he died that he would not wear shorts bc of the scars on his legs. He once had milk spilled on him while milking their cow, and wore the same clothes all week. Apparently no other clothes were available. Wore 2 left shoes to high school bc that’s all he had. He pulled himself up, borrowed money from his kind sisters to buy an old car, then again to go to college working full time with a wife and children at home. No student grants. No military benefits, bc he was in a terrible accident and lost part of one hand. Graduated, and went on to have a government career lasting over 30 years. When unmotivated, I try to remember what my father did, and for my heritage. Honestly when I’m feeling lazy or feeling sorry for myself, I don’t.
      Even if you are unmotivated, please remember that you-you-are worthy. ❤

      It has nothing to do with AI. Economic distress in America is enormous. Many banks have gone under. Inflation is biting harder. Ukrain miscalculation is obvious. Facebook has been using AI in most of its features and products for more than 15 years now, so Ai has nothing to do with it. They embarked on unprofitable projects. And over hired. Apple has never laid off employees despite the economic downturn. They did well in hiring and never had failed projects. Metaverse failed. Gaming projects failed. Fintech, Lira failed. In the last 20 months, Sanbberg left, nobody is there to "tame the lion"
      Most Tech companies went woke: hired talents in order to prevent competitors from having access, they kept them idle, just to hijack a pool of talent. Over hired without proper assessment and protection. The existing projects couldn't turn in expected revenue, even before inflation war in USA set it. Let's put it in perspective without blaming AI. 95% of big tech have been using AI in the last 15 years. Building a passive income is a real hedge against inflation. Such is a thing that won't fail when the govt and the big tech fails.

      It's not dumb, Your Teacher. We all have motivation, else we wouldn't be depressed or distressed about our situations, but how much does it really help? - Don't fat people have motivation to lose weight? Don't poor people have motivation to make money? Yes they have! - And yet, most people don't up their game and actually act on the things that would improve their lives - even when they know exactly what to do.
      Kind of like running a marathon. Most of us could, and we also know how to do it - it's just one leg in front of the other - and yet, very few of us actually do it.

You have to want to change into the kind of person who God wants you to be. No one can make you. It's a free choice and gift from above, from God Almighty. Satan will do everything in his evilness to stop you, but you have to listen to the still, small voice, the Holy Spirit. Praise God! ❤

    Dear Mel,
    I am generally a very motivated person. I agree with you to just keep it simple.
    I need to let you know that I have started using this with my 7 year old son. It works and he loves it. What he has started though without me mentioning anything about you or your work, he decided that we need to continue counting to 5,4,3,2,1,0 then he says lift off and he does whatever we wanna do.
    I said to him yesterday, just do it and he responded, well I need to count down so my mind knows!
    I almost had tears in my eyes.

Mel , just expressed and touched each feeling that I’m having, I was watching her talking, and each word coming out of her mouth, I said yeees exactly thats me , like I finally found someone can understand me , cuz I have been dying to just find an answer to what’s happening to me , why I just keeping thinking and not moving even a one step , what I do is just creating list and plans for each day ahead and not taking actions. Oh God 🙏, thanks for sending people to lighten our path 🙏, thanks Tom for hosting the GREAT Mel Robins , it’s time for the Rocket 🚀 to Launch

    After a 3 day, self imposed "silent retreat", by myself, I was stunned by how powerful and apart from myself my brain was acting. It stopped listening to me and took over like a run away train, and I couldn't stop it. You are speaking about this, and since that experience I was truly awakened to the power and control of our brains. Thanks again.

    You are remarkable lady. speaking raw truth as it should be not wrapped up in fancy lace or difficult jargon . The rule about no phone in bedroom is great . I have a smartphone which i switch off 1.5 hour before bed time and left downstairs and only keep the old phone for alarm and emergency calls. I also have a landline one set downstairs and another in the spare room upstairs that number is ex directory so only my close family have it.
    The smart phones and access to social media is destroying children's mental health and their social well being.
    I only bought the smart phone during pandemic and must say it helped me in keeping well informed on all aspects because the main stream TV news were just foom and gloom ..thank you for lovely inspiring talk.

    I work as an AV technician at a local hotel and I had the amazing opportunity to tech the room Mel was speaking in. Prior to having any idea who she was, I set her presentation equipment up and introduced myself. Then something clicked, I had just gotten back from visiting my brother out of state and he mentioned a book to me because i was explaining to him how difficult it is for me to act on my instincts and I am constantly stuck in my head. Turns out, the book was The 5 Second Rule and a typical day at work turned into one of the most inspirational days of my life. So strange how life can surprise us and magically bring important people into our lives when we need it the most. I mean what are the odds Mel Robbins unexpectedly shows up at my work, still cant get over it.
