## Caption

I didn't start changing my life when I felt "ready" to. I changed it by taking action even when I felt scared, discouraged, or unprepared. I used 5-4-3-2-1 to pause instead of explode. To pick up the phone when I didn’t want to. To ask for help when I was terrified. And one hard action at a time, things started to shift. If you’re overwhelmed right now, hear this: You need to start acting like the person you want to become - before you feel "ready." You can hear more from my conversation with my friend Hoda Kotb on the Making Space podcast! 🎧 "Mel Robbins on The Self You Meet When Everything Is at Stake." #melrobbins #5secondrule #takeaction #changeyourlife
