THE RULE STATES :
THE MOMENT YOU HAVE AN INSTINCT TO ACT ON A GOAL , YOU MUST PUSH YOURSELF TO MOVE WITHIN 5 SECONDS OR YOUR BRAIN WILL KILL IT .
have an instinct to act on a goal , you must push yourself to move within 5 seconds or your brain will kill it .
I used it to get to the gym , to drink less , to look for a job and to become a better wife and parent .
As I used it more in my life , I felt courage , confidence , pride , and a sense of control . By using the Rule in one area of my life , I had the confidence to use it in other areas , too .
I showed The Rule to my husband , Chris , and he used it to stop drinking , start meditating and exercise every day .
As we talked to friends , the rule would come up . People who were inspired to creating change in their lives started using it too .
The Rule doesn ’ t make things easy . It makes them happen .
That ’ s why it ’ s a tool . It ’ s not advice . It ’ s not something you think about . It ’ s something you do . It requires action . It ’ s a method of HOW to make change happen .
The Rule is how we climbed out of debt and rebuilt ourselves professionally , one 5 second push at a time .
I ’ ve used the Rule to launch me to new places that I could have never imagined . In just the last eight years , I ’ ve created massive change in my life by implementing the Rule and I believe that every single person can also reap the benefits of this tool .
I ’ ve learned that motivation doesn ’ t exist . It ’ s a myth . Instead , you always have to push yourself .
When we hesitate , we hold ourselves back . Our brains think that something is wrong and trigger fear . We need to move past that hesitation and fear . The Rule pushes us beyond hesitation – straight to action .
I used the Rule to push me out of bed , out of a funk , to help me get my groove back , and to build my dream career .
Every single day we face moments that are uncertain , scary and difficult . These moments require courage . And you know what ? Courage is a SKILL . It ’ s something we build , one 5 second action at a time .
When you discover your courage , you will realize that you are capable of accomplishing and experiencing anything that you dream about .
