The High 5 Habit: Take Control of Your Life with One Simple Habit w/ Mel Robbins

MEL ROBBINS is one of those people for me.
Ask anybody who knows me, and they will tell you that she is simply one of my favorite human beings I’ve ever met.
When you listen to this week’s episode, you’ll see why one of Mel’s superpowers is to connect with people wherever she goes.
In a smart, earthy, funny, and candid talk, Mel is a LIVE WIRE who’s going to win you over from the start.
A former criminal defense attorney, she is now one of the most sought-after motivational speakers in America. You may know her from her appearances on CNN as a legal analyst, or as the host Cox Media Group's The Mel Robbins Show, A&E's Monster In-Laws, and Fox's Someone's Gotta Go.
You may think that something as simple as giving a HIGH FIVE doesn’t amount to much, but as Mel explains, one HIGH FIVE can make all the difference in the world.
Think about it.
You have a lifetime of positive programming from giving others high fives. It’s impossible to say something negative a then give someone a high five. The two actions are INCONGRUENT.
You’ve never given it any thought, have you?
But Mel has.
She’s figured it out and applied the NEUROSCIENCE to back it up.
Like many great actions, it’s the simple ones like HIGH FIVES that carry the most weight for me and you.
That includes the importance of learning how to properly HIGH FIVE YOURSELF to start your day.
Yes…it’s important to HIGH FIVE other people but it’s ESSENTIAL that you validate your self-worth by generously giving yourself HIGH FIVES. It’s even more CRITICAL when you haven’t accomplished anything big than when you do.
Mind-blowing, isn’t it?
But when Mel goes into the physiological details, it makes perfect sense.
If that isn’t enough, Mel shares some eye-opening insights on how to cope with gossip and jealously. Here’s a hint. Learn to EMBRACE JEALOUSY.
And if you’d like to know how 5 SECONDS can change your life several times a day, Mel gives an awesome tutorial about the power of a 5-4-3-2-1 countdown.
There’s so much to impact behind the psychology of a HIGH FIVE.
BOTTOM LINE…
A HIGH FIVE is an amazing gift you can give others.
More important, a HIGH FIVE is an AMAZING gift you can give YOURSELF.

Mel Robbins not only saved my life, her five-second rule turned my life completely around and gave me the courage to shift my paradigm, and start a business. I was just diagnosed with cancer in late 2013, the previous year I went through a divorce, and it felt like my life was flat lining. I owe Mel Robbins everything, thank you for having Mel on your program! ~ Super Dave Raines

This is going to be life changing.... I'm the person who listens to every amazing podcast, takes notes and then kind of forget about it.... Some things I'll take away, but boy did this particular podcast hit me in all my feels and made me realize I can do this, I can change my life, Mel mf'ken Robbins is amazing, and I"ve been wanting to start her mindset reset program from back in 2019! This podcast is what I need, her stories are amazing, touching, shocking, what she's gone through so relatable! These stories are ones I've never heard before, and I'm blown away. As Ed was praising her I was right there with her, she's amazing, the way she tells stories, her no bs attitude, gahhhh Im going to meet her one day, she's my painting, I can't wait to be living my dream life, and being absolutely humbled to be in her presence one day! Now I'm blabbing, but this was amazing this is going to change so much, not only for me, not only for my family but for so. many. people....sharing sharing sharing!!!

I have shared with people for decades the ancient law ‘energy follows thought’. I have watched the things I share improve their lives, not as much for myself. I had no idea how a simple‘high five’ could change a day.I had not experienced you “Miracle Mel” until after this incident. I was experiencing an oppositional day full of frustration. While moving down the road with the traffic (I bet you know where this is going lol) when the cars in front of me began stopping. When BAM a car slammed into the back of the car. Segue back a bit, I have only had the car for three months and vehicle nightmares behind that. Back to the moment, we pulled into a parking lot and stopped. The driver was fragmented and could hardly think, an accident, two screaming children, kind of a mess. Asking if they are ok and I had looked at the cars and the only damage was a bent license plate. My bad day could have escalated into really bad but? Without actually using my brain I said “high five, give me a high five “ which confusion she did. There was nothing to tell anyone, like police or insurance people. However her little ones were still upset. I had some mints in the car and gave some to her to distract her little ones, did another high five to celebrate that all was well and we parted. The entire day was incredible altered into an amazing day of calm. I did not even attempt to ask myself why, I just enjoyed that rare day. Segue it was a few months later while driving and listening to something on YouTube that the segment finished and this Mel person came on and I could not change it so I for the first time listened to Mel share her ‘High Five’ story. Weird and wonderful stuff, thanks Larry :)
