DO THIS First Thing In The Morning to Stop Procrastinating & NEVER BE LAZY Again! | Mel Robbins 

Unbelievably true!!! I’m disgusted & disappointed in myself for settling to marry the wrong man to allow my whole family to take advantage of me abuse me make fun of talk down to me ordered me to stop college to take care of my druggy sister children just to never get a thank you! My husband has no respect for me since we dated because I chased him he didn’t chase me until I realized he was not good for me I dumped him for the first time! Now being married to a mean insulting rude lying husband has made me feel angry rage at myself for wasting my hood looks youth bring with a man who never appreciated me nor value me!!! Been married for 38 yrs till this date I don’t have a wedding ring from him!! He lies he don’t have money however he has money to purchase over$6,000 of weapons among other stuff!! 😢I gained 185 pounds!!! Started my diet few days ago to hopefully look better to feel good about myself to move on divorce him

I was in such a miserable and depressed mood. I put this video on while making dinner. I went into the bathroom and high fived myself and said. You've got this! I've been smiling and feeling so much better ever since! Thank you so much Mel!!

I start everyday, no matter what is going on that day, by saying "Today is going to be a great day!" And at some point during the day, it is going to be a great day, and I find something, someone that makes it an amazing day. And you need to be your own best cheerleader. Get out those Poms Poms!!

I've been high five-ing. Myself in the mirror for a week now. I haven't noticed much of a mental change yet, but I have noticed a physical change! My bathroom mirror gets cleaned more often cause some lady keeps putting handprints on it! Lol!

prayer is the greatest benefit...humility is the key, and faith in God is the missing piece :) while collecting all the bits n pieces and slowly progressing you can very quickly progress with humility and faith and God...the evidence is out standing :)

I high fived myself this morning and my first thought was “don’t actually touch the mirror and get it dirty”😅

I was coming from the bedroom to the kitchen passing a large mirror above a cabinet and thought, I think I'll try it -- I will high-five myself. But won't think of anything because if I do, it will be disappointment in myself and dislike for myself. So I just stopped, looked quickly at my image and high-fived it -- I saw a 72 year old woman I've been loathing look back at me with eyes that love me and she smiled at me. All in a few seconds -- I saw a nice lady who loves me as I high-fived, me!

This single widowed mom working 2 jobs will start this tomorrow. Love it! Thank you.

I don't know why but this made me cry - I have been so hateful and mean toward myself. I'm going to try doing this, even if i cry every day, until I can start celebrating and honoring that person in the mirror. The last young man, and her conversation with him really spoke to my soul; especially when he said, (paraphrased) "No amount of love is going to fill the yearning our soul requires from us - and when do we work daily on being in love with that person in the mirror who's been through so much, but is still standing?" Bless each and every one of us who is still standing.

Single mom of 2, husband left me...I'm starting this today. Thank you for your video. 💜

Thank you. I am at the lowest I have ever been. I needed this.

Remembering when I was a teenager there was an old guy that walked down main street and when he encountered us he would say "up top" and high-5 us as he passed by. we loved that guy.

I'm grateful to myself for not giving up.

I needed to watch this. Praying that everyone that watches this puts it into practice and lives their best life possible!!!!

The thing I love about Mel is that she never designs herself as perfect. Despite her incredible knowledge of self care and hacks she still feels human instincts such as anxiety and stress. She’s just so realistic

This CD has three separate relaxation/meditation sessions on it ru-vid.comUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq guided by a very pleasant and direct male voice. Unlike so many other products of its type, this CD does not have bad synthesizer music, does not feature a phony or affected style of narration, and does not make any bogus claims to be subliminal or to re-train the brain or any of that balderdash. What you get is 1. a guided meditation for getting into a pleasantly relaxed state of body awareness while taking a stroll (superb for those easing back into a fitness routine slowly after an illness or injury) 2. A nice long breath-awareness relaxation session that if followed diligently can put you into very deep states of full-body relaxation and mental calmness, and 3. a buddhist-inspired meditation session designed to help you develop and maintain feelings of loving kindness toward not just yourself and your friends, but toward people you don't even like. The CD makes no claims to be designed for advanced meditators or for buddhists or hindus/yoga practitioners looking for very deep and esoteric stuff. It is geared more toward the average person who just wants to develop the habit of relaxation and stress relief through natural, healthy means. him, if you happen to be reading this, keep up the good work fella, and I love your accent. I would also like to note that I have never fallen asleep while listening to this product. I would like to kindly suggest to the reviewer who said this CD makes him fall asleep, that he might want to get checked to see if he has a sleep disorder, or if he is simply not setting aside ample time for restful sleep at night. A healthy person getting adequate rest at night should be able to go into deep states of mental relaxation without dozing off, if not all the time, then most of the time.

Mel, I’m a 69 year old woman who with Covid has gotten used to staying home and watching TV all day. I feel to my core that there is more! I’m gonna try this starting today.

It's so weird, I had a similar experience looking in the mirror. I'm often my toughest critic; I'm 43 & sometimes look in the mirror & notice all the same things Mel said, how I'm aging & my face is changing, how I'm late & don't have my sh*t together that day, etc. But I've always known that I really, really do Love myself. One night, I had smoked a little bit of weed and I was in the bathroom looking in the mirror & for some reason, I smiled at myself. Suddenly, shockingly, I felt this overwhelming wave of love, familiarity, & comfort. It felt like I was seeing an old friend I hadn't seen in years and this wave of excitement, and heart-bursting Love just washed over me! I wanted to cry and wished I could run to me & hug myself because I had missed Me so much, it was like an out-of-body experience! In that moment, I literally felt like I was looking at someone else and all I felt was unconditional Love; I loved seeing that familiar, loving face - her eyes, her cheeks, her smile. I just wanted to feel her embrace, hold her hand & sit and talk with her, catch up. I have never experienced anything like that before or after, but the experience was so profound, it changed me. I'm kinder to myself, give myself more grace, & appreciate myself more. For the 1st time, I saw myself from the outside and I saw so many good things. I've always said that I wish I had someone in my life just like me & now I know I do - ME. There's the part of me that is me & there's the part that is observing me - the Me that is a friend to me, and I'm never alone. When I've used marijuana correctly, (not abused), I've had some experiences I can't fully put into words, but they've been spiritually profound and I hope I never forget them. I am so grateful for that unique moment.💖💝

I've started using intermittent fasting with my keto diet. It's the easiest thing to do, I think because it falls under the 5 second rule. Since I don't have to DO anything--I don't have to make food. I don't have to make choices about food. This has been a great way for me to lose weight and be healthier. I have been eating one meal a day and have never felt better. I get up and exercise (Tai Chi) instead of filling my face with food. I make a decision about one meal a day instead of making dozens of decisions. This has helped me to have more time to make the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 decisions that are really important.

Her personal story about her husband just broke me and I like the video. I am sitting up now to listen attentively. Been going about cooking and playing this in the back ground until now. Thanks so much, Mel., I'm trying not to cry

Mel, I have really missed you. When you were on TV, you helped me with my mental issues I was going through. You gave me a secure feeling to listen to your mindset. I looked forward to your show everyday. I love that you are so detailed in your thinking. You are awesome!!!! I get you. You're easy to listen to, God has put an angel here on earth, that is you. I'm so glad to find you on the internet. I'm sorry you had to go through your rough times but God has made you stronger. Love you, my friend. Thank you for your services of helping people that need to hear your voice. May God bless you thousand times over.

When you prepare for that big interview full of confidence that date tweaking your hair you say you look good... You feel good. You believe it ! Great advice here

I've read The 5 Second Rule yesterday and took action. With a totally different mindset. I also use this rule to stop drinking and smoking marijuana. Today , zero alcohol and 've smoked 3 instead of 10! I feel amazing. Centered. It's an incredible sensation to take back control on your life. "If you don't like your life, do something about it." - Mel Robbins Your words and your energy have created a shift in my brain. I've never felt so excited, free and powerful. You save people. You've saved me from a heartbreak. I've just spent six months in the limbo, and now I'm out of it. Today I sent you pure light and love vibes, I don't know if you felt it... It was my gift to say: " thank you, I love you."

It’s take a special person to be honest and be so candid

The world needs you Mel. I love you sister and know you are here to awaken those whose song you sing. I think your song is beautiful.

I want to get up, eat a healthy breakfast and go workout 😁 I'm going to start using the 5 second rule in the morning! Thank u!!!

Got teary eyes watching this...as the moment I got my anxiety attack and thinking all my failures and bad things happen in my life..I stand and watch myself in the mirror and watching myself giving me the motivation to tell myself..Heyyy Don't give up! I know you can do it.. DONT STOP LOVING YOURSELF..DONT STOP BEING KIND TO YOURSELF!THOUGH YOUR NOT PERFECT BUT DONT LET INPERFECTION STOP YOU IN TRYING BEING GOOD...THEN I SMILE TO MYSELF AND SAY I CAN MAKE IT AND I BELIEVE I CAN!ILOVEYOU SELF❤

I must try this 👏👏,, I was diagnosed with C-ptsd , depression,, I’m in therapy and starting CBT ,,,

Omg.. I’m sitting here watching you, my business is supposed to open in 4 minutes and I’m still in my pajamas sitting here… looking at fb. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m gonna go rush to get ready (as usual) and high five myself in the process. Luckily I live in the same building as my business, or my procrastinating ass would have fired myself ten times by now….

This was what we as kids where taught by from my father 🥲always saying your not good enough. I’m changing my mind set 🙏❤️🐠🌈😁

I hope that you can have another TV show about helping others with their mental health which is so desperately needed nowadays! Thank you Mel for all of your advice, humour and Love for all!!🙂💗🌺🐿🙏🙌

I'm already in tears...just started watching this, just subbed this channel from another video on another channel. I am so afraid for the future and I have worked so hard on changing my life from being a depressed person to a healthier happier me and I have gained back the weight I lost on the keto diet and my mindset is now constantly afraid for our country. Thanks to you, no matter what is going on (unless the economy totally collapses) I am picking myself up and dusting myself off and getting back to where I was going before...I have GOT to do this for myself...5, 4, 3, 2.....1.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT VIDEOS, OF MY 35 YEAR SPIRITUAL JOURNEY!!! THANK YOU!!!❤️💛💚 I ALREADY POSTED IT ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA, TO SPREAD THE WORD!!!🙌🏽

I have NEVER felt like a human being, I've always been "less than". I cried within 10 minutes of starting this.

Every morning I wake up I say to myself I’m still here ! Why ? Life seems stagnant I’m stuck the sun ☀️ seems so dull something happened to me and I can’t forgive myself I can’t get away from this I can’t move forward I feel like shit this not good I’m so alone I love you who ever is reading this I hope you’re life is great 😊

I need to change my actions and attitude, treat myself better no negative self talk.

It's kind of strange to know that every couple of minutes you are telling part of my story as if you are in my head. I completely get it! There's a lot of good information here. and for myself, I have been on a path of self-discovery and self-healing for years, and yet find there is still something missing. I have hope that your books, which i just ordered, will help. Can't wait to read them.

Mel I have been binge watching you so I am not sure which video you mentioned it in but it was to do with you not loving the way you look. I am here to tell you last week I was at the hairdresser and pulled out your photo and said to her I want to look like Mel. 💕 Thank you for your amazing motivation.

The spiritual component of the High Five Habit is that it is an act of worship; you are telling the most high GOD that he created you awesome and HE blesses you for that. You are positioning yourself into the unforced rhythm of Love.

Just had a conversation with my son this morning. He was all upset about picture day and saying his school pictures get worse every year. That he doesn't like his smile. I told him I understand how he feels. That I'm 40 years old and just starting to learn to love myself. You're a beautiful person and thank you for your message 💗 Sending everyone love, who is going through the self-love journey💖 You're amazing, beautiful, kind, lovable and wonderful human being!🌌

I love how honest you are Mel it makes you so relatable …

I use mirror gazing as a form of self love usually with a warm cup of tea.. cause lets be honest i do like to look at myself, since transitioning to non binary feminine i do love what i see.. i love this!! God Bless, Shri Riley

Divine intervention for sure! The attacks of the devil are very real! This made me cry, too. Keep going Mel! God will meet you where you are; He wants the best for everyone. He wants to lavishly love every single human being - that will let Him. 💙

I'm 62 and am going to do this 🙏

I have been doing this every morning since I heard you say it a number of days ago, and it always makes me smile and sets up my day. Thank you Mel 💗

I'm so glad I got to see this video. Because i started basically the same thing for myself a few months ago and since then I've accomplished greater things but I'm still a work in progress and I struggle sometimes with getting up and doing this for myself every day until the other day when you Mel popped up in my for you videos on something I really needed to see. It was about narcissist because I'm a scapegoat in a family full of narcissistic people, but I've also learned a self-doubt self-sabotage and self-hate for the last four decades of my life. So over the last couple days I had to get up and start doing this again and pull myself out of the bottom of the depression bucket. Yes I suffer with bipolar depression and I do not take meds. Will not take meds. They just make it worse so I've learned how to rewire my thinking so when I saw myself at the bottom of that bucket I said to myself Christy. It's time to get out of that bucket and put myself right back into this training to know my selfworth. So thank you for reiterating for me by putting this video out. Thank you, Mel you are a blessing in disguise for me. And I can tell you with honest and sincerity. You are one of the people that have helped me retrain my thinking to know that I am here for a reason and that I am good enough so Thank you. And from somebody who can have suicidal thoughts from time to time, you're also my savior, one of them anyways......

It starts with others that criticize you...whether jealous or feel you should do things differently...each person should grow as able...each have different ways to accomplish the same task...you get judged by how you learn or how you mold yourself of a task...if too many on you and if you befriend others that count on you or you count on them it you must be the same match of generosity and sobriety will and likes...eventually things pile high of their judgments ...its hard to not give up.. especially pure exhaustion...they won't understand....its always you should haves instead of how it should be of the taking all factors into play ....the recipe of the day..shame and guilt only debilitates..and when you encourage another too much then you get stepped on..eventually your attitude becomes attitude and youre segregated and forgotten

This is really wonderful,such a tiny bit of power condensed for a moment hifiving yourself in the mirror daily.. a shot …so fast, no need to sit in a chair for 10 minutes … brilliant … I love what you say .. so basic, no frills

Wow I’m sitting here crying. This is so powerful thank you so much❤

The most difficult thing for me to do is to brush my teeth. It may be that my depression is too far gone to benefit from this inspiring advice.

Yes! Thank you Mel! I had recorded your message on my phone a while ago but i hadn't listened to it before. But yesterday i was in a situation and a place where i evidently had a fear decision trying to rob me of prospering financially. And i was searching for something or someone to encourage me to do it and i decided to listen to your message and a the end of the day i realized i had listened to your message about fear and how you said " I'm going to do it anyway "" and i just did it and i had an Amazing Time and Day All Day Long! Thank you Mel

I love in the background when you're talking about how you use the just do it anyway rule that you're colleague says "yeah you do" when you hate working out

So good to hear this now, a week after Hurricane Ian in SWFL. It is so easy to forget about yourself and what i need. I feel guilt because I weathered the storm better than others. I needed to see this today. I’ve been practicing gratitude for others, everything outside of me. I am Implementing this new practice right now! High five to me! Love you Mel!

mel i think this is why tiktok and youtube for kids and people working through something is so vitally important. we get to watch a play by play of ourselves being our most authentic self. it also enforces how dangerous it can be if you show up disingenuously. it’s such a cool form of self awareness.

Wild that this is actually a tactic. I never liked staring at myself in the mirror but when im having a really rough time and the old hurts of the past creep up and my depression trickles back in, I'm lying in bed crying, unable to get up. I'd pat myself on the head and whisper to myself that I am a good bean and I will come out of it ok. The same way a doting grandparent might do. Always made me feel better and now i understand. Positive self talk is so important. Cheering for yourself is necessary when you don't have anyone else in the stands.

I luv listening to this! Everything being said is exactley how I feel! I cant afford to go talk to anyone! And noone around me truly listens to me! I just feel lost!!

first motivational speaker to reach me

Wow, so this is what we do. Even the most successful people struggle with being kind to themselves. I took me years to learn how to be nice to myself and I am still learning. This is brilliant. Thank you.

I don’t know how Mel Robbins popped up when searching for some answers to pick myself up, but boy does she break it down to the truth!!! In the same time I’ve been watching Brene Brown. I wonder if these two women talk?!

This video will change my life. I thought of people with whom I want to share this throughout the entire video. Mel, you have created something life changing. You are, in fact, an awesome speaker. What an absolutely flawless presentation….with unbelievable content. Your words resonated with me on a powerful level. I am so grateful that the universe lead me here. Thank you for sharing your gift. I would love to meet you one day…..in the language of intention , I will meet you. I cannot wait to devour more of your work. 👏👏👏💕

I support me I am on my side I partner with me I encourage me I am for me ......When you are not there I am always and forever with me.....🥰💯

THIS IS A SUCH A WONDERFUL, FASCINATING INTERVIEW--MEL IS SHARING A SIMPLE YET ENORMOUSLY IMPORTANT IDEA AND INSIGHT! WE NEED TO START PERCEIVING OUR REFLECTION IN THE MIRROR THAT WE LOOK AT EVERY DAY AS OUR BEST FRIEND THAT WE SHOULD HELP/ ENCOURAGE AND THAT WE ALSO CAN RELY ON!

24.00 mark was one of my favorites of this discussion. Catching thoughts and momentarily tricking my brain into new thoughts worked for me. I was lucky or persistent and found an exceptional therapist years ago who was able to use imagery and metaphor. I'm a writer and it's how I think. The laughter in this discussion around momentarily tricking the brain is something. The energy got a turbo charge and you could see that joy and humor taking over. That's why traditional group therapy can be so great. Lots of surprises in the back and forth and then aha moments. These videos and the comments are the new group therapy. If you can laugh during self discovery and improvement all the better.

I am only 11 minutes in and already appreciate this .. needed this one !

Thank you Mel! I did the high five 1 minute and changed my anxiety

Made me cry too, she gets it.

This brought me to tears!

It’s better than looking in the mirror and flipping myself off !!!

Hi my name is Jenna and I am from Glasgow . I am so grateful for your videos as you have helped me and still are today . I'm your biggest fan ahaha maybe in Scotland ahaha x thankyou for being you and I wouldn't mind being you Mel your amazing inside and out x sending my love from Scotland

Mel this was the most amazing truth after so many years of a blessed therapist I am too grateful ❤️ for you. Love you for your truth! It's a practice to be honest!!! With yourself and action towards words we say to ourselves. I am going to do my mirror work. Thank you, 👍. Also I teach children and I always high five them but never myself!

I have been listening to nothing but motivational talks for months and I can say by far this is the best! Thank you so much for changing my life. 🙏👍

God bless you Mel! Take care =D

Thank you so much Mel. I did high five and cried instantly. I said I am proud of you and tears rolled down. It felt I wanted to hear that from others for validation. I don’t need that and I am enough 😌

It’s just self recognition of self 👊🏻. You are validated by yourself not by someone else 🥰. Giving yourself a psychological approval 💕

Great video, Mel! I could be asleep for 2 days/ nights straight… felt horrible because of the time lost but couldn’t do a thing about it… One small step at a time by getting mosey out of the rut… Thank you for sharing, Mel, exceptionally helpful: make your brain and body work for “ ME”!!!!

Just wanted to thank you for ur video about " want things done, DO IT, GET IT DONE!! Today I did! Yay, I did...it's little things..

Thank you. Chronic illness and mom of three. I haven't seen my face in years. I picture my mother's face instead of mine when I think of what I look like. This makes me feel like a real person. Thank you

Love those eye frames!

And thank you for teaching me how to manifest great things too cuz I have been manifesting some awesome things the last 6 months

I needed this at the beginning of the pandemic my oldest beautiful son died. I find myself stuck in denial and WHY WHY thank you

Sounds like God got a hold of Mel! Great information!

Aint nobody lazy. Were just tired of being stalk openly.

Thank you, my dearest!!! I remember myslef, how I used only two or tree times not to see and listen some videos by ironing, I have no TV by the way, but I looked into the mirror like at a good and unexpected nice and lovely friend. I will shurely give myself these high 5 in the mirror, my depression caused by MS and ADHD need it since many, many years.

Wynona duke has even more but she’s a very respected USA aim activist. Good luck and prayers for successfulness

OMG. when he's talking about how something like this can help the single mom--that's me--& I'm so happy & so grateful, but it's also SO f*ing hard!! Always I say to myself "if anyone can do it, it's me"; & that's been helpful in getting things done, but this goes a step further to actually acknowledging THAT it's not easy & that we each deserve & need to be kind to ourselves--if for no other reason than to keep on carrying on. Thank you!!

You hit it right on the "nail". Thank you for all your encouragement you make life better for so many.

high fives are also good for morale which is desperately needed in work atmospheres. did it all the time in friendly sports activities.

I definitely need to celebrate myself more.

This mom whose 2 kids think she’s so awful. One won’t let her meet her grand child and barely get to see the others, I’m leaving so much out, I really needed this! Thank you 🙏🏻

Thank you, just Thank you

As much as you love these one on ones, so do I. Video podcast uncensored and no time limit, I really enjoy.

Must have needed these reminders right now. Watched a you tube video Mel put up ages ago where she uses herself as an example using the 5 sec rule before going on stage. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 I'm excited and explained the physiologically excitement and fear feel both the same. That got me to the dentist first time in 20 years, now I go every 6 months. Am going to try the 5 high habit today! Thanks Mel Robbins

My conversation some mornings is about me being okay to just relax and not be productive..it's very hard for me to just not do things and feeling okay with just relaxing and self love..

Mel, you have always inspired me but THIS ONE... I've gotta work on. I don't look at myself in mirror ☹️

GOD loves me, I love myself, therefore I can love others as I love myself. " Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of GOD, what is good and acceptable and perfect. (Romans 12:2) 😇

This is magical and I feel it will change my life and finally help me to let go and move upwards and onwards 💞

Thank you for keeping it simple... so informative...I have changed today just from listening to you and tomorrow I will implement a new way of taking care of my brain in all areas you mentioned.

The mirror high-five is a moment of saying you care about oneself. It will shake one to the core to be acknowledged and received by oneself. Gratitude is the central seed.

It means I see you you matter you can do this you got this

I added to my morning routine going back to sleep thank you one and all.
