Mel Robbins 认为动机是不可靠的,成功需要在感觉准备好的 *之前* 就采取行动。她分享了自己的亲身经历,讲述了如何在人生低谷时期,通过创造性的方法(五秒钟法则)克服困难,最终取得成功。她强调,没有人会来帮你完成工作,你需要自己承担责任。五秒钟法则的核心是:在犹豫的五秒钟内采取行动,避免被消极情绪控制。这个方法基于神经科学和心理学研究,通过倒计时行动来激发“活化能”,帮助人们开始行动,中断旧模式并建立新的积极习惯。它是一种元认知技巧,可以帮助人们切换大脑模式,从自我破坏转向掌控。Mel Robbins 还鼓励听众参与为期五天的“唤醒挑战”,每天早上使用五秒钟法则克服起床的抗拒,以此建立行动的肌肉记忆,并最终改变生活。

Shownotes Transcript

The biggest secret to getting the life you want is understanding 3 words I hope you never forget:

 

Motivation. Is. Garbage.

 

Right now, think about something you want to change or improve.

 

I bet you know WHAT you want to change – and what you need to do.

 

But the 100 million dollar question is: HOW?

 

How do you get started? 

 

And how do you keep going even when you don’t feel like it?

 

Look, if change was easy, we’d all have six-pack abs, a million dollars in the bank, and healed our trauma.

 

And that’s where this episode comes in: I teach you the HOW.

 

I cracked the code on motivation, and in the next hour, I’m sharing everything I know with you. 

 

You’ll learn the secret to breaking old habits, creating new ones, and how to hack what neuroscientists call “activation energy.”

 

You’ll also learn one simple but incredible tool, that’s grounded in decades of research, and will change your life forever. This tool is a “cheat code” for motivation. It’s worked for millions of people and it will for you, too.

 

I wish that what I was about to tell you was something I had read in a book, but unfortunately, that's not how I tend to learn things.

 

I'm the kind of person who either has to fall into a hole that I didn't see to learn a lesson, or more likely, I screw up my life so badly, I dig the hole for myself. 

 

This was me back in 2008. I was digging the biggest life hole ever. And that’s where this episode begins. 

 

I was at the lowest point in my life. My husband’s business was failing, I was unemployed, on the brink of bankruptcy and divorce, I was drinking way too much, and to top it all off, I couldn’t even get up in the morning. Not the Mel Robbins you know today.

 

This is the exact moment I discovered the secret to hacking motivation – because I had to if I wanted to fix my own life. 

 

And if I can do it, you can too.

 

If you're a new listener, you'll learn more about how I got to where I am today. 

 

And if you've been a fan for a while, this episode will be a reminder of the power within you to make any change you can imagine.

 

At the end of the episode, I’ll also give you a free 5-day challenge – The Wake Up Challenge – to walk you through getting started with these tools: www.melrobbins.com/wakeup)

 

You won’t believe how simple it is to transform your life, your work, and your attitude. I can’t wait to show you how.
