The 5-Second Rule 💥 Mel Robbins developed this powerful tool to overcome a lack of motivation and discipline. It stops hesitation and procrastination and helps you just get started. ⚡️ The idea is simple: when you know you need to get something done, you count down from 5 and move before you can talk yourself out of it. Have you ever used this tool? Drop a comment and share how it’s helped you- or if you’re just hearing about it, give it a try and let me know how it goes! 💡✨ #5secondrule #fivesecondrule #melrobbins #takeaction #beatprocrastination #overcomeprocrastination #mindsetshift #productivity #productivitytools #motivation #discipline #lifecoaching #coachingfromthecouch #unlockboldchange

Who’s your alter ego? 🎭 The alter ego effect, first coined by Todd Herman, shows just how powerful our self-perception really is. The stories we tell ourselves shape how we show up in the world, sometimes more than we realize. 🧐 I often share this story of a client who changed her life simply by changing her inner narrative. And over the years, I’ve seen it again and again: change the story, change your life. If you’re going to believe the things you tell yourself (even when they’re not always true), why not make those stories empowering? What bold, uplifting story can you start telling yourself today- in your career, family, or personal life- that boosts your confidence and propels you forward? 🚀 Tag a friend, and start rewriting your inner narratives together. It’s more powerful (and fun) when you do it together! 💪🏼💜 #alteregoeffect #alterego #mindsetmatters #rewriteyourstory #selfperception #confidenceboost #personalgrowth #changeyournarrative #positivepsychology #selfbelief #lifecoach #lifecoaching #coachingfromthecouch #unlockboldchange

Feeling stuck or weighed down? Try consciousness writing ✍🏻 All you need is a pen, paper, and a few minutes. Just sit down and write whatever comes to mind- no editing or worrying about grammar; just let the thoughts flow out of your mind and onto the paper. 📝 This technique can help you get things off your chest, process emotions, spark creativity, and put things in perspective. 💡 Just start with five minutes to write whatever comes to mind. Once you experience the benefits, you’ll be motivated to do it again and for longer periods of time. 🧘🏻 So take a deep breath, grab your journal, and get writing! Have a wonderful weekend! ✍🏻✨ #consciousnesswriting #streamofconsciousness #streamofconsciousnesswriting #journal #journaling #emotionalwellbeing #selfreflection #innerhealing #mentalclarity #lifecoaching #lifecoach #coachingfromthecouch #unlockboldchange

Still relevant 20 years later... and maybe more than ever. Small Giants by Bo Burlingham is a breath of fresh air. In a world obsessed with scaling fast and growing big, this book is a powerful reminder that building something values-driven, people-focused, and deeply connected to the community can be just as impactful, if not more. I recently revisited this book and shared a few highlights: https://lnkd.in/eebGdQqG Have you read it? What are your thoughts on growing with intention instead of just growth? What does success mean to you in your business? I’d love to hear from other business owners and leaders! #smallgiants #purposedrivenbusiness #consciousbusiness #sustainablegrowth #leadership #businesssuccess #valuesdriven #peoplefocused #peopleoverprofit #entrepreneurmindset

✨ Manifestation Mirrors ✨ Like a vision board, you collect images, words, phrases, etc, that resonate with you and your vision. The key is choosing things that elicit the emotion connected with what you’re manifesting. If you want to attract love, select things that evoke feelings of love within you. I love using a mirror for this practice because you’re projecting yourself into the picture, helping reinforce your vision and raise your energy.🪞Emotion is energy in motion. The more emotion you pour into it, the stronger your energy will become. 💫 One important note: This is best done privately or with people you feel safe and supported by who will keep the vibes positive. 😌 What are you putting on your manifestation mirror? Whatever it is, know that you’re worthy of it. ❤️✨ #manifestation #manifest #manifestyourdreams #visionboard #manifestationmirror #energyinmotion #spiritualgrowth #mindsetshift #intentionalliving #achieveyourgoals #lifecoach #lifecoaching #coachingfromthecouch #unlockboldchange

Pay now or pay later! 🕟 Life is busy, and it’s tempting to push things off until later. Whether it’s filling your tank or having a difficult conversation, delaying often feels easier in the moment. But the reality is, you’ll almost never regret getting something done early, but you’ll often regret putting it off. Keep this phrase in mind the next time you say, “I’ll just get gas in the morning.” 😉 #selfdiscipline #timemanagement #motivationmonday #successhabits #personalgrowth #emotionalwellbeing #justdoit #lifecoaching #coachingfromthecouch #unlockboldchange

Your Reticular Activating System and Gratitude 👇🏼🧠 The Reticular Activating System (RAS) is a small but mighty part of our brain— it’s essentially the world’s fastest computer. It constantly processes and filters the information around us. Where your attention goes, your energy flows. When you focus on gratitude, your RAS recalibrates to prioritize gratitude and filter out what’s unnecessary. As a result, you’ll naturally notice more to be grateful for. 🙌🏼 If you’re looking for a handy tool to build gratitude, our book, Unlock Bold Change™ With Gratitude, is available on Amazon! 📝 https://lnkd.in/dFeEigDr Every day, write down and focus on 3 to 5 things you’re grateful for and notice how it changes your life. ✨ Who are you grateful for? Tag them below! Have a grateful day 🙏🏼 #gratitude #practicegratitude #grateful #gratefulheart #gratitudepractice #neuroscienceofgratitude #brainscience #positivepsychology #positiveenergy #coachingfromthecouch #unlockboldchange

Reward yourself, stay motivated! 🎉 Motivating yourself with a little treat, whether it’s Swedish Fish or a few minutes on social media, is a great way to power through your to-do list and keep you moving forward. The key is to celebrate your accomplishments, no matter how small. So, check off a couple tasks, then treat yourself. You deserve it! 😉🎉 #treatyourself #sweettreat #rewardyourself #celebrateyourwins #staymotivated #motivation #motivationtips #lifecoaching #lifecoach #coachingfromthecouch #unlockboldchange

Time to get your closet done! 🌷🫧 We have an energetic connection to everything we own, which is why clutter can leave us feeling overwhelmed, weighed down, and stressed. 😩 I encourage you to go through your closet, desk, or any space that could use a reset. Let go of what no longer serves you; you’ll feel lighter, brighter, and more at ease. ✨🌷 What’s one area you’re ready to declutter? Share in the comments and inspire someone else to do the same! ☺️ #springcleaning #springhassprung #springclean #springishere #spring #overcomeanxiety #reducestress #stressmanagementtips #lifecoaching #lifecoach #virtualcoach #anxietycoach #coachingfromthecouch #unlockboldchange

Did you know there are simple physical poses you can do to boost confidence and happiness instantly? Here are two easy and highly effective physical stances you can use to feel and project confidence in an instant: 👇🏼 ✨The Akimbo Stance Stand with your feet hip-distance apart with open hips and open shoulders. Place your hands on your waist with fingers in the front and thumbs on your back. Hold this position with your head held high for two minutes. This signals your brain to release testosterone and other confidence-boosting neurochemicals. 💪🏼 ✨ The Smile Trick Want to feel happier? Hold a pencil between your teeth. This engages the same muscles that are used to smile. After two minutes, your brain will respond by releasing serotonin and dopamine, naturally lifting your mood. 😀 Try these power moves for at least two minutes daily and experience the confidence and mood boost! Wishing you a wonderful weekend! 😊 #armsakimbo #akimbo #boostyourconfidence #confidenceboost #powerpose #brainscience #happinesshacks #moodboost #wellbeing #selfgrowth #lifecoach #lifecoaching #coachingfromthecouch #unlockboldchange
