HOW TO HACK YOUR MIND USING THE 5 SECOND RULE.

A lot of us have this beautiful idea of starting up this business and selling this digital product or quiting this habit or working on your body and your career.

But you seem so stuck in not executing any plan, you get motivated when you read an article from sales expert like John obidi, Steve Harris or ederin edewor, it Spurs your spirit up and you tell yourself, Yes! this is the moment to do this,💪

But all of a sudden you just feel like the motivation oozed out through your nostrils and self doubt sets in.

Thereafter you start putting up blames on your finance, your enviroment, your family, your habit and your friends for not supporting your idea.

But you need to hear this, the problem is ignorant of the above, the problem is you,
Your habit of procrastinating has given you a throne In the council of men,
Scientifically your Brain is wired and designed not to allow you do anything difficult but to protect you and to save you from danger or from hurt.

whenever your brain senses any activity or action that places you in a State of not been comfortable, it gears into action immediately and tries to protect you by bringing up ideas and opinion for you not doing that thing that will put you in an uncomfortable state or hurt you.

So anytime you come up with this business idea that you feel will require all your efforts and energy, your brain does what it knows how to do best by protecting you from that stress and that push.

So here is the thing, whenever your mind comes up with this idea, or this goal or plan that u need to execute,
what you need to do is the apply the 5 second mind rule.

So what is this 5 second mind rule, the 5 second mind rule states that, whenever your mind comes up with such great idea or a business plan or a goal for individual growth, you have to make a count in your mind 5 to 1 backward and get into action.

So when you count the 5 to 1 backward, your mind goes to outsmart your brain and interrupts that part of your brain that is always ready to protect you from stress, from inconveniences and hurt and opens up your prefontal context, that part of your brain that Spurs you into action and helps you to change that habit, or helps you in learning that new behavior, to achieve that goal, to take that business idea into action.

So if you want to get your business idea running without been interrupted by that part of your brain that emits self doubt and disbelief, stop the hesitation and immediately apply that 5 to 1 rule in your mind and get that idea, that goal, and that plan into action, and learn to trust your actions.

And trust me when you do this, everything in your life will change, you will be a good sales person, you stop procrastinating, you will be very good in business, and you will overcome that habit.
