    I did this 5 minute thing when I would get depressed and needed to clean my sweet families house. I would set the timer for 5 minute and cleaned, It worked every time

    If you are reading this and thinking “Can I do this? Can I accomplish my goals?” I want you to know the answer is yes! If God put it in your heart then achieving it is also inside of you. As Mel said procrastination is a form of stress relief. If you have paused or backtracked forgive yourself, recognize you were simply acting human, a human in pain seeking comfort, and go forward. Game plan, research, put action items in your calendar, get a coach, etc starting or restarting can come in many forms just do something. You got this! You are amazing!

    Mel, thank you!
    I like the fact of doing,... I am and have been in my own head. Dreaming, planning, desiring.
    I will begin doing. Little steps.
    I desire to change my path, my goals,... I am stressed so I see what you have noted.
    Love you ❤️

    Loved your talk show and was so sad when it wasn't renewed. Love your YT. Procrastination is definitely one of my issues. I want to move from my house with stairs to a rambler due to my bad joints. Have done very little decluttering and/or repair and small remodeling/curb appeal. Definitely will take the steps you've laid out.

    I sent you an email. I had told you a little bit of my history. It’s too much to type now. In any case I want you to know that your videos have helped me tremendously. I know make a video once a day and post it on social media sharing what I’ve learned and how it’s helped me with my trauma my alcoholism my ADHD and dealing with my narcissistic mother. You helped me pinpoint the exact point in my life where I started being essentially brainwashed or my brain was trained to believe that I was never good enough that I couldn’t do things right enough I was told when I wanted to do things my mother told me that I wasn’t going to be able to do it and I would basically fail and that it wasn’t a good idea. So based off of that I never was true to myself I just did what she wanted but the bar was always raised. I really want to become a behavioral health mentor or coach and help people pinpoint where the started in their life because without listening to your videos I would have no idea and be totally lost. I don’t know where to start. There’s a lot of obstacles which I won’t get into here can you please point me in the right direction. My job will reimburse but I don’t have the money to put upfront for college. Currently my bank accounts are overdrawn because I took a month off from dealing with the narcissistic malignant narcissist because I went note contacts for months ago and he’s on full court press mode. I’ve looked into certificate but in my life I received a felony because of my ex that’s a long story I became a drug addict and alcoholic and I am in recovery now. My fear is that people won’t hire me because of that I’m really trying to get it sealed I don’t know if that’ll happen I’m trying to take action I’ve looked up schools I’ve looked up certificates but they all want a bachelors and I only have an associate please please please help me point me in the right direction because I want to take the action I just don’t know where to go thank you in advance I appreciate all you doing all that you did to help me just buy your videos

    Crazy how I am struggling with moving forward.
    I have aggressive primary progressive multiple sclerosis and my partner has Adhd so our external lives have crashed around us.
    It's like nothing I do gets me back to consistency in life, decluttering our insane house, the rid of constant feeling of overwhelming. I do have tremendous amount of stress in my life, my partner in her life and it's affect our home life and our relationship.
    I been asking for spirit guides to show me what to do, I am tired of not getting anywhere. I open my phone after balling my face off yesterday and here was this amazing person giving a solution to a problem I asked help for.
    Thanks Mel Robin's! What a Godsend.

    Ms Robbins, can your 5 second thing work after death of your spouse of 14 years?? You have a great way with words and I know if it can you can explain it to me. I'd love to buy the book, but at the moment I am strapped, I am trying the 5 second thing, but so many things are in play right now that I'm having a difficult time. I am trying though.

    Im only a couple minutes in and yes I agree, it's all stress management. Im curious how many male followers Mel has? Just a random thought as im sure im in the minority. Her advice is good no matter your age, gender, backround etc. I also like Jordan Peterson, but Mel just feels more relatable on so many levels. Yes, the number one stress is finances, especially since the Global Depression brought on by the covid pandemic. There is also a mental health pandemic going on that is hell on earth from many who suffer. All hands should be on deck to combat that! Without straying too far from my point, we are all facing uncertainty on a GLOBAL SCALE. That is of course, unless you are rich. Uncertainty is the biggest stress on top of everything else that is going on. Why do you think so many people pray, read the Bible, spend time in nature, meditate, listen to music and so on. It's whatever works for you. For me it's a combination of all things I mentioned. It's too much to figure out on your own. Without getting into a religious debate, why do you think the Bible is still around and the number one selling book of all time? I think it offers hope more than anything. Just start in the Book of Psalms and start from there. It offers comfort for any emotion you are dealing with. Let's all be encouraged. We made it this far. 🙏
    Thanks Mel for all your life changing advice!

    You know this is really great stuff but it's not impossible to have a negative thought while doing a high-five or forcing a smile or thinking a happy thought. I was one of those people and I've worked with those impossible people professionally. I respect your enthusiasm respect that you have helped the people that you've helped so much. But if somebody tries this and it's not working and they start to wonder what's wrong with them because of their deep depression it's not going to help them. I haven't listened to the whole podcast but it might be at some point good deal to briefly tell people if it's not working for them time to seek therapy and that they are going to be okay and it will start to work eventually. I'm not trying to be critical I just have compassion for a certain group of people.
