Have you ever noticed how the most challenging part of ANY task is just getting started?
This is especially true when establishing healthy habits that stick or prioritizing your health and energy again.
Whether it’s planning your day, taking a short walk, or starting the mindful practices you keep putting off…
The anticipation is almost always worse than the actual doing.
👉 That’s where the “5-minute rule” comes in.
It’s simple:
Commit to doing whatever task or habit you avoid for just 5 minutes. That’s it.
If you don’t want to keep going after 5 minutes, no problem.
But chances are… you will want to keep going!
Why does this work so well?
Because movement creates momentum.
Tony Robbins says, “People who succeed have momentum. The more they succeed, the more they want to succeed and find a way to succeed.”
Taking even the smallest step — like 5 minutes of action — creates a positive chain reaction.
If you’re not sure where to start, try one of these:
- Commit to a 5-minute morning stretch to set the tone for your day.
- Spend 5 minutes journaling about what matters most this week.
- Take a 5-minute walk to clear your head and refocus.
There are no wrong answers!
