The 5 Second Rule - indeed works well with me today. My very first attempt to do the 5 Second Rules is definitely very helpful for me.
For months I have been worried and worst overthinking of the things that keep haunting me since last year pertaining to my struggle having a hard time managing my finances.
For almost a year now I have been slowly cutting my off my unnecessary spending as I made a devotion surrendering everything to God as I no longer manage it but HIM.
I started deleting my online shopping applications, stopped doing impulsive groceries using credit cards, stopped shopping with instalment items in zero interests. Stopped having random hanging out with friends. I avoided malls and all the mall sales i refuse to go to. It may sound easy or as good as it looks or as it gets but the truth is I was struggling! It was a total lifestyle change for me.
It felt like my entire being took the 360 degree turn. I was in chaos. I would crumble! As if there is a war inside me. I was helpless! But I have to stick to my devotion!
Then I learned about the 5 second rule- you got to do what you got to do!
Let me tell you that you have the power to change your mind- Get up and give yourself a little push. Count 5-4-3-2-1! And viola!!! Little did you know you are making baby steps to face and work on the things that bragging you for months. One single step at a time.
By Gods grace I am surviving.
