I Am Overcoming My Procrastination…I bought a Crossbow ;-)
Well, I followed my own advice…
I thought about hunting and how much I used to enjoy it, plus Axel is talking about it all the time…
So I counted 5-4-3-2-1 and….bought a crossbow and a hunting license lol. I took action even though my brain was telling me not to….”You don’t have the time. There is no where to go. Axel is just going to be noising.” As I counted down instead of dwelling on those issues I thought about how thrilled Axel is going to be even if we are just walking in the woods “hunting!”
How about you? Are you using the 5 second rule? Have you noticed any big changes in your life as a result? I know I have sense I have started practicing it. I get way more done, I am happier, and I spend less time on social media. It really works ;-)!
Here is some more insight from Mel regarding how this 5 step process works.
- First, you have an instinct – hunting is fun
- It’s an instinct that’s attached to a GOAL – It will make Axel happy
- Third, you MUST push yourself to action within 5 SECONDS… research a crossbow
- So you 5-4-3-2-1 it and GO
- Otherwise your “brain will kill it.”

This will work, however, if you aren’t losing weight it is likely because you are eating to much. If that is you, eat ¼ to ⅓ less than shown.
