My husband Chris thought the #high5habit was corny when I first told him about it.

He thought it was STUPID when he first tried it.

This was Chris’ argument against it:

"Why should I give myself a High 5 if I don’t think I deserve one?"

🤔

And THAT, right there, is the problem. 

You don’t earn a high five. You NEED one. The fact that you exist is why you deserve it.

Right now you are blocked because you don’t support, love, and encourage yourself. 

How about you give me 5 days to prove it to you?

Just give me 5 lousy days.

High 5 yourself for 5 lousy days. 

What have you got to lose? No one will even see you try it. 

In 5 lousy days you will experience something absolutely miraculous - you will feel your mind, your mood, your confidence and your energy shift.

After practicing the #High5Habit, Chris realized how dark his mind had been. He had no idea how to say something nice to his reflection, let alone himself. That’s why it felt STUPID the first time he did it. Now that he’s been practicing it - a switch has flipped. He’s turned the light back on - INSIDE HIMSELF!

Try the #High5Habit for 5 days. It’s not stupid - it’s SCIENCE and it will for sure change you and…might just be the thing that saves you. ❤️🙌
