Use This To Control Your Brain - Mel Robbins 

This guy is the best interviewer ever. He lets her speak without trying to interrupt. He doesn’t make annoying agreement noises. Great job!

The mind is a dangerous master, but a beautiful servant.

I broke down watching this. I’ve suffered from negative thinking and anxiety and ever since I started this method, I haven’t had one anxiety attack and I’ve managed to change my life. I’m beyond grateful ❤️

1. Take a decision in 5 seconds 2. Trust in yourself (esp decision) 3. Jump into Action

This video changed everything in my life 2 years ago ... I was a boy scared of the world, and I didn't know how to stop that depressive feeling and start making things happen ... But today, I am 22 years old and I am vice leader in a multinational company, I live alone and achieve my dreams step by step

“Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny.” ― Mahatma Gandhi

So powerful it's scary! The way she explains things makes me realize how dumb I am for letting my mind run wild and cause so much unnecessary pain. We need to show our brain who's boss. Thank you Mel & Tom.

I keep coming back to this video over and over again when I know I need it. Just to remind me. If you like this comment, maybe you're doing it at the right time. Thanks in advance.

The main theme is "trust yourself and take action"

That’s crazy that she mentions that moment of hesitation because I had a kind of epiphany about this about a year ago... I was sitting at my house being lazy, knowing I had to clean (but putting it off) and out of nowhere I just said to myself “You just have to *do it* “ but when I said that my body jumped up before my brain could respond with “I’ll do it later” etc etc. In that moment I realized instinctually that I have to move my body to act before I consciously *think* to do something. I’m probably not explaining it very well but it was just this intuitive thing I realized. Ever since that I’ve changed. Whenever I have something I don’t want to do, or I’m scared to do, I just DO IT before my brain can react.... it’s like jumping into the deep end of the pool. You can’t overthink it or wade your toe in slowly, I just close my eyes and JUMP! Just try it and your life will change, I swear.

She's the type of person i wanna be friends with and talk to for hours to discuss my weird, non-intelligent but overthinking brain. The struggle is real with what she's talking about..

I love reading comments.........beautiful souls..gives me hope....as much as I hope for tribe

The most profound things are always the most simple - glad I randomly clicked on this

I am proud of myself, I accepted a promotion that was offered at work and I dumped a deadbeat guy who said I was fat 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks Mel!!

I love how intently he is listening to this. Most men seem to interrupt women it’s a common thing especially someone who’s wise. I love the fact that he is deciding to listen and take this information in instead of chiming in. That’s not a easy thing to do props to him! And this is great video makes a lot of sense.

I totally agree with what Mel Robbins just talked about. I was in a bad marriage for many years...and suddenly one fine day, I just decided that I wanted a life of my own....and in a second I was out of my marital house, and out into the open universe, with music all around me...and I felt like a queen..in charge of my life...I did think about what tomorrow looked like, I just wanted to be out of this marriage and on my own to happiness...and yes I did it from there.

My mind is so powerful in protecting me that I forgot about what she said after watching this.

i just scored a job interview while watching this because i didnt hesitate and just texted someone during the video!! Thank you soooo much!!

when i saw this i realized that i used to do this earlier by myself and when i lost it, i lost my control. thank u very much for reminding me this 😤😤

This video changed my LIFE 2 years ago ...I am successful..I broke my bad habits with this 5 second rule thank you Mel 💓

Her book, "The 5 Second Rule" helped me so much. I highly recommend it. 💛🧡💜💙❤️💚🙏🏼

How strange to hear you saying this, my mother used to tell me when I was young and the angry or sad or I was confused about something to count from 10 to 1 backwards and then think about it again and it worked just about every time. I am 64 now and mentally do this without really thinking about it anymore and you are correct it works

So the key is mindfullness - training yourself to be aware of your emotions and thoughts without being immersed in them.

Stumbled upon this by accident... or divine intervention. This message is exactly what I needed to hear.

My mother always said “Don’t think. Just DO.” and it’s always helped me. Thank you mom for the guidance.

okay, this is the absolute LAST youtube video that I am going to watch to procrastinate. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Close Tab.

This is the answer to correcting how I screwed my life!!! Mel is so on point!! SILENCE AND HESITATION...wow, that is exactly what my problem has always been. Thank you Mel for this revelation!!

I see everyone in the comments reaching their goals!!!!

I am very impressed by the interviewer as he knows when to get out of the way after the 1st question. Makes his job a lot easier and the interviewee happier.

Incredible speech. This woke me up. I think I've been cured of procrastination starting from today.

This interviewer instills a very strong sense of trust and calm. Very awesome guy.

It is all about resetting our mindset to live authentic lives!! you guys got this!

I really needed to hear this... my life is a mess right now. I know what I have to do but I'm not doing it.

Early in the morning in my country I'm watching this video for a lesson.

This woman is giving not just good explanations but practical advice. Something that most coaches forget. Thank you Mel, you are great!

Thank you Mel Robbins. From Simon James Rolfe of Leeds. Notice all the names consist of 5 letters. NOW. LET'S TAKE ACTION

This vid adds a new meaning to “trust yourself”

I have to say, this is one of the most logical self help ideas I have heard in a lot of time. I am going to start using this technique.

Mel Robbins is truly amazing. Her five second rule has helped me so much. I used to feel trapped in my thoughts always with nothing but negativity and self doubt. I can feel myself changing every single day. Thank you so much Mel! ❤️

I'll try the 5 second rule...I believe it is going to work in making my life better! God bless you ma'am, and God bless the host too.

the way she pronounce the words is awesome I wanna listen to her voice and speeches for ever :)

Her voice so clear n sharp ....each word can understand what she saying without subtitles even in her last video ..Thank You for sharing ❤️❤️

it is just as in the proverb “It's better to regret what you have done than what you haven't.”

I need to work out this morning,go to a mass amd make lunch and I was jut lying around for hours. I finally got up!!

I've started this habit of procrastinating when I was 11. I've been doing that for 6 years now. And all this time I knew what to do, but I could never bring myself to do it. I never knew why. I always wondered what was wrong with me. I tried forcing myself to get things done by tricking myself by giving my phone to my mother or things like that. But it never worked on the long run. But now I found this interview and everything makes so much sense now. I want to try to change my life for the better now. Stop procrastinating and overcoming my unhealthy habits. Wish me luck!

Her talks are already changing life

My student advisor randomly sent me this today and I really needed to see this

5,4,3,2,1...you are awesome Mel ! Thanks.

We are all spiritual beings having a physical experience... Praise GOD 🙌👑💞✨💫 ✨ Live it like you B-E-L-I-E-V-E it! ✨

I usually watch this kind of video in the morning which always motivates me a lot

This is so simple and effective. The longer you hesitate to do something, the harder it is to do it.

15.22 minutes that can change a whole life. 5,4,3,2,1. I'm ready NOW.

I always hated the feeling of guilt, guilty about not calling someone back or cancelling on a appointment.. I always feel the extreme need to make sure were still cool so I overthink scenarios in my head (worst ones losing people) and overly apologies I hate that I'm so affected by this and it makes me so nauseous I cant eat all day it upsets me that I react from a fear/guilt based view

It’s like she was speaking about my very inner being. 100% spot on. I really needed to see this!

finally someone addressed the problem i am facing for so long that i know what should be done but i don't do? wasn't able to solve this that how make myself do it. i started believing that i don't have determination at all. this video helped me to understand that it's not lack of determination n taught me how to do it. hopefully now i will do everything i need to do.

That was great! I needed that reminder. Thank you!

8:40 THE TIP

This was amazing listening to Mel! I want you all to know since I listened to this video, the very next day (which was today) I got up at 5am and walked for 30 minutes! I loved it! So, now my plan is 5 days a week I'll be getting up at 5am and walking! It was so nice because my 17 year old daughter WANTED to walk with me!!! So, thank you Mel!!!

What a way to start the day!!! Good morning!!!

The best interviewer! Hands down! The man listens allowing me to understand. Thank you🙏🏼🎼🍀✨

"Trust yourself." This struck me hard.

I was bullied in elementary school for 2 years by the guys that were my best friends before, and my father also got really stressed out in his job when i had a really good relationship with him before now it went terrible, my grades started to get bad also for these reasons. From a really good building up life i was shattered to pieces, i had depression and i felt deep inside me that i wasn't safe. In these 2 years i couldn't comprehend what was going on and right after it something just clicked in subconsciously. "I have to do whatever it takes to change myself or else i might gonna die"(thats what it felt like). You know i had the feeling that the ppl had back than who got left out/pushed out of a tribe. So i had to start parenting myself basically. I couldn't do the comfortable things cuz it was uncomfortable for me. I was trying so hard that sometimes i forgot to eat whole day. As a 15 years old. I was reading articles, books etc about psychological stuff i was trying to learn stuff from other people on youtube and i felt it really refreshing every single time. Whenever i had to make a decision about what to watch a movie or something that improves me i choose the second one even tho the thought of the first one sometimes gave me flashbacks about the good times. This habit of thriving got worse and worse as i got more and more comfortable as my life changed for the better, even my circumstances changed my father realized he should change so he did, the ones that bullied now weren't around me anymore so everything just became comfortable and i didn't feel the need of trying this hard. I have to admit it was all subconscious until now. This video made me realize why i tried so hard back then and why i'm this lazy motherfucker again. If you really want to improve your life you have to make the uncomfortable comfortable, and the comfortable uncomfortable. You have to have a reason to say i'm not gonna hesitate cuz this and that terrible stuff are the results of that. I'm gonna go in and give it my best so i have a chance to live a good life. The reason i wrote this is mainly because i had to write it out for myself, but at the same time if it helps for anyone i'm glad to help you.:D Have a great day everyone!

I rewatched the interview here. Thank you Mel and Tom for giving us this powerful tool

Lots of respect from Tibetan bhudhist monk. She teach really nice

Great work Tom, no annoying agreement noises and no unnecessary comments either. The best!

I watched this and realize that i am lucky in that i have never really been hesitant throughout my life. If i wanted something i have just done it and worried about possible consequences later, it has always worked out for me. I feel quite blessed in someways when i see people around me being hesitant, I try to will them to just go for it and then see them full of regret when they dont. you are the master of your destiny dont waste a moment people

Thank you Great Leader for this awesome content 👏🏾💪🏾 🙌🏾 👌🏾 👍🏾 🙏🏾

Oh my gosh thank you!!! This is where I am and I’m so grateful you’ve shone a light on it. Thank you so so much!

It’s your job to push yourself. We are all flawed and the best thing to do is accept our weaknesses. So true 🙌🏼

This may be the most important video that anyone NEEDS TO WATCH AND REALLY LISTEN TO.

I love your fearless soul channel and I thank You and your guests you have on. Wow wow wow!

Thank you so much for sharing knowledge ma'am GOD BLESSED US AND MORE POWER

Running has just changed the way I push myself all day long it's just changed the wiring in my brain to get uncomfortable to achieve impossible things

Am 15 and l think hearing this happened for a reason for me to start building my future as early as now

You’re awesome Mel, thank you for sharing with us 🙏

This is excellent to hear and listen to and do! Sensible , sane and simple self work Love it !

I encountered the five seconds decision when I was quitting smoking; you have to defeat it in order to quit. It's amazing that everything else about life and living life instead of being defeated by life hinges on this pivotal point. Thanks for pointing it out. It's as true and real as the virtual reality that the media wants you to believe in. Resist without hesitation. Operate in the moment. It's the only thing you've got.

One of the most inspiring interview I have ever heard, thanks a lot Mel Robin you are a real gift to all of us.

Thanks for the inspiration you injected Mell Robbins. Really great quote why it is so hard to do little things. That micro moment pulls the trigger of change, success.

Whoever is reading this I wish you health, peace, happiness ! (a)

I love how Mel explains everything ❤️❤️❤️

Your " Five Second Rule" and "Anchor thought" really do wonders to me. "Do it Anyway" if I want to change my life has really help me cope with the challenges Thank you3 Mel. I will keep watching and listening to your programs .

I'm in love with their words...! really wonderful...!!!!!!

This is the most help full beat I have found today, Thank you , Mel

Trust yourself. Take action, thank you for this great message Mel Robbins and fearless soul ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"He who hesitates, waits.."

Wow!! I really needed this today...amazing and such a powerful msg! Thank you!

WOW - got it. Really needed this - I am so grateful you shared this with the world.

The lady changed my life big time. My productive life have greatly improved! I have also achieved more. Seriously, our brains are tricky. But her speech is an intuitive thing. It's meant to be used for positive adventure not for destruction. The Golden sentence I use to push my self to do more is, "you never gonna feel like it. So, just do it anyway!" That speech is gold! If you know you know . But too much of ones push can cause anxiety disorder I must warn..... Expectations that comes with actions or challenges so, you have to strike a balance Find an inner peace.... Let it guide your actions... Take calculated risk. Each decision has it advantages and disadvantage.. use pen and paper to make your thought clear..... But don't dwell so much on it that your brain employed fear will sink in and make you not to act all together. When the action is taken. Employ your inner peace. Don't let your anxieties to create room for disorder. Just know that Evey actions has it natural payment. Act but interwove it with inner peace to keep things balance.

Wow I’ve been doing the counting down thing for years. So interesting to learn that I was literally tricking my brain!

Dear beautiful souls, Sending love and light from my heart to yours❤💙💜

lovely Mel. You are truly awesome!

Omg staying w someone who treats me like crap IS A DESCISION

Bottom line: just take action...then things start happening and fall into place, your instinct will guide you...if you are unsure of direction of action, pray/ask for guidance...then you will be guided into that reality you desire...works for me everytime...I call it “tactical prayer”. Pray/ask for anything you want or need...from a green light when you are running late, or to find your lost keys...to a new house or car. Be open to how and when you receive it, as it won’t always occur as you expect, but It always works. And acknowledge it with a ‘thank you’ to that Source. Life can be really easy if you dismiss illogical fear and take action and trust the guidance. Takes practice to gain the confidence in it...but it works! Start by writing down your goals and then take action....easiest way to live.

Thank you......we live with love

Absolutely Awesome! To the point - no wasted time, Great!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Brilliant, simple but so uplifting! Thanks Tom and Mel.

People only lacks guts to work their dreams! Don't be scared and start working on your dreams.

This is so true! Such great information Mel ... and I love the 5 second rule too!!!

You're awesome Mel. Thank you 🙏🏻
