per togliermi di torno

la mia nemica mente:

ostilità perenne

alla felice colpa di esser quel che sono,

il mio felice niente.

And the reason why is based on science and research: your brain is designed to protect you and change requires risk. And so you are protecting yourself by saying: “Maybe tomorrow”.

And this is where the 5 seconds rule comes in super handy.

So if you are constantly procrastinating, you probably have a bias towards thinking, and you can use the 5 second rule to literally push yourself to take action.

All you’re gonna do is count backwards 5 4 3 2 1 that’s it. This is a starting ritual that interrupts the patterns of overthinking, of fear, of anxiety, of procrastination, of comparison, that are making you go out tomorrow not today.

“I don’t like it, 5 4 3 2 1 ” and your prefrontal cortex turns on, that’s a part of the brain you need to either learn new behavior and to take action.
