| Mel Robbins Sumber: wikipedia |
I was 41 years old I was unemployed, my husband had started a restaurant a business which was his dream this is
actually, a funny story when he got
laid off from a big job in high tech and
I think he was really relieved you know
a lot of us wait to quit our jobs and
then we get laid off for like .well so
what happened is he the first restaurant
was a home run and of course what do you
do when things are successful you grow
it grows really big and so they decided
to raise some money and we threw in our a home equity line the kid's college
savings this tried to open a second and
a third and at the same point in a
grocery store chain encouraged them to
go into wholesale, so it basically got
way too big way too fast and the wheels
started to come off and they came off so
badly that the second restaurant failed, so by the time that they closed the second restaurant who was an $800,000 loss.

I don't I mean that meant our
entire home equity line gone run it
meant kids come I get just choked up
just thinking about how terrifying it
was and so I found myself at the age of
41 like just feeling like a complete
failure and so did Chris, so what would
happen to me is the exact opposite is is
Chris would be gone the alarm would go
off at 6 o'clock in the morning and I
would lie there and I would think about
the lien on the house and I would think
about the bankruptcy that we were facing
and I would think about how much we had
fought the night before, and I would
think about the fact that I was
unemployed, and I would hit the snooze
button
and why would you get up when your life
is like that escape a life hitting the snooze button is not that big of a deal. but here's the thing about life none of
we wake up and say today is the day I
destroy my life. what we do is we kind of
check out because it feels overwhelming
or we check out because we're afraid of
we check out because we start listening
to self-doubt and then we make these
teeny tiny decisions, decision to not get
up on time a decision to not eat the
right thing a decision to snap at your
kids a decision to not speak in a
meeting a decision to not look for a job
a decision to not deal with your
finances a decision to not call your
parrot is all day long these tiny
decisions that take you so far off track
and then you wake up like I didn't and
you, you look at your life and you think
how the hell did I get here.

so what I
got in this struggle with myself that a
lot of us find ourselves in and that is
you get trapped in what I call the
knowledge action gap. you know what to do, but you can't seem to make yourself do
right I mean every one of us is one
Google search away from a list of
instructions, that if you follow any of
them it will change your life, but how to do
you get out of your head and stop
thinking about what you need to do and
actually do it and in my case this stuff
was pretty easy. get up on time make
breakfast for the kids, get them on the
bus, start looking for a job be nicer to
Chris don't drink so much instead of
isolating yourself pick up the phone and
call friend, get yourself out into the
woods and go for a walk, start running again like none of these
little things that I was capable of but
I couldn't get out of here
could not get out of here and if you're
stuck that's the problem. the problem is
you're in your head you're
thinking that is the universal problem
and it all starts with this knowledge of
what to do and then you hesitate and you
think about whether or not you feel like
doing it.
so for a couple months, I was, I
was really stuck I would Chris would
get up at 6:00. I'd hit the snow so then
I'd hit the snooze and then I hit the
snooze the kids we miss the bus and then
every night I'd do the same thing, I'd go
in bed have you ever had one of those
nights probably before you started your the company, but it where you bed you're
like, alright Tom that's it tomorrow it's
the new me
tomorrow, tomorrow I'm gonna get up on
time, I am gonna go to the gym, I am gonna
look for a job, I'm not gonna drink. so
much it's gonna be amazing the new me
the future me. Wow, let's do this right
then you go to bed and you wake up seven
hours later and you're like. I don't know
me it's the only hope that's a stupid at
seat motivations garbage. it's never
there when you need it ever, ever, ever, ever and so here's what happened to me
and thank you for wearing the NASA
t-shirt. it's a really stupid story it's
a powerful story. so one night Chris had
gone to bed I've been struggling
struggling, struggling we still had all
the same problems.

I was told a lien on
the house still facing bankruptcy still
fighting like crazy. I was still
unemployed, he still they still haven't figured out
like the solution yet for the business
and I was about to turn off the TV and
there on the TV, there was this rocket
launching and I thought oh my gosh
.
I launched myself like a rocket ship
like NASA right here and launch me out
of that bed and I'm gonna move so fast, that I don't think I'm gonna beat my
friend, anyway the next morning the alarm
goes off and I pretended NASA was there. it's the stupidest ER I literally went
five, four, three, two, one accounted out
loud and then I stood up and I'll never
forget standing there in my bedroom it
was dark, it was cold, it was winter in
Boston and for the first time in three
months. I had beaten my habit of hitting
the snooze button. I couldn't believe it
and I thought wait a minute counting
backward citizen dumbest thing I've ever
heard in my entire life.
Well the next morning, I used to get into work, the next morning I used it again and it worked, the next morning I used it again and it
worked
and then I started to notice something
really interesting, there were moments all day long, all-day
long just like that five-second moment
in bed. where I knew knowledge what I
should do and if I didn't move within
five seconds, my brain would step in and
talk me out of, it every human being has
a five-second window might even be
shorter for you. you have about a
five-second window in which you can move
from idea to action before your brain
kicks into full gear and sabotages any
change in behavior, because remember you're the brain is wired to stop you from doing
things that are uncomfortable or
uncertain or scary. it's your job to
learn, how to move from those ideas that
could change everything, into acting up in the smallest moment
because I went from getting up on time
and waking up on time to shaking up my
entire life because when you understand
the power of a five-second decision and
you understand that you always have a choice to go from autopilot to
decision-maker.
Everything in your life
has changed, you will be a different
negotiator, you will be different sales, you will be unstoppable in the gym
because you will realize the amount of
garbage that you put in the way of your
hopes, of your dreams, of your potential, of your confidence, of your courage
everything comes down to the decisions
that you make we all know what to do
none of us know how to make ourselves do
it.
