How’s your nervous system doing as we enter the final month of 2021? It’s been one heck of a ride for most of us, and tensions are at an all-time high with the ongoing pandemic, the “great resignation,” and skyrocketing prices in stores, online, and at gas pumps. If there were ever a time to have a sit down with the great behavior change expert Mel Robbins, it’s now.
I first interviewed Mel four years ago when her book The 5 Second Rule hit the bestseller’s list. She’s now celebrating another book, The High 5 Habit, and I had the pleasure of getting her analysis of where this crazy world is heading. If you’re in a state of overwhelm with chronic anxiety, stress, and fear, you don’t want to miss what she says we should all be doing right now.
Hint: It’s not anxiously waiting to see what madness will fall on us next!
Mel comes through with some powerful advice on calming our nervous systems and easing anxiety even when there’s so much to justify chronic stress. From setting yourself up for greater creativity and productivity with the right morning routine to a simple mantra that could change your mindset, Mel’s wisdom is just what we all need to hear as we head into a new year.
Enjoy!

0:08.8 | drawn toward. If the energy around something, whether it's a person or it is an opportunity |
0:16.2 | or it is anything in business is expansive. Might be scary, might be intense, |
0:23.7 | but if it's expansive, |
0:25.0 | it feels like there's growth there, |
0:26.9 | I lean towards it. |
0:28.6 | If the energy around something feels very depleting |
0:32.3 | or shrinking or constrictive, |
0:35.3 | I step away from it. |
0:43.4 | And so I have, for the last decade, I have leaned toward things that feel like growth. I have said no to things that start to make me feel constricted. |
1:02.7 | Hey, quick question for you. How's your nervous system doing? Right. How does it feel to be in your body? |

1:17.1 | let me give you a quick breakdown. This is a handful of shows that I have personally curated, |

1:28.5 | were especially impactful to our listeners based on either number of downloads, popularity, |
1:34.6 | commentary on the internet, or something that I just felt was especially moving that I wanted |
1:39.5 | all y'all to hear. And if you're listening to this for the first time today's show with |
1:44.0 | Mel Robbins, then you are in for a treat. And if you have heard previous episodes with Mel, |
1:49.2 | I'm telling you, this one is really, really important for you to listen to again because Mel is, |
1:57.3 | she's a sage. Now, look, the reality is we are on the backside of a pandemic, but it seems to me, culturally and otherwise, that tensions still are high, right? |
2:13.6 | We've got the great resignation. |
