Mel Robbins shares three life truths: your relationship with yourself matters most, life is a school preparing you for something better, and the 5-Second Rule (counting 5-4-3-2-1) interrupts unwanted thoughts and gives you control over what you think next.
The most important relationship you have in life is the one you have with yourself. So treat yourself like the most important person in your life. This moment is preparing me for something amazing that hasn't happened yet. That saying, which I deeply believe because life is the greatest school you will ever attend, it anchors me down in hope, optimism, and faith no matter what's happening. It is like a mental high five. That there's always a skill or an experience or a life lesson or a person that I have gained in every horrible thing that's ever happened to me or because of me that has prepared me for something amazing that's coming. And then the final thing is for sure the 5 Second Rule. And the application I would want people to know is that you can 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and interrupt any thought you don't want to think. And that will give you immediate control over what you think next.
