Ever noticed how the hardest part of ANY task is just getting started?
This is especially true when it comes to starting a consistent health & fitness routine.
Whether it’s making a healthy dinner, going for a run, or doing the mobility stretches you promised yourself you were going to do…
The anticipation is almost always worse than the actual DOING.
👉 That’s where the “5-minute rule” comes in handy.
This rule is simple…
Commit to doing whatever task/habit you’re avoiding for just 5 minutes. That’s it.
If you don’t want to keep going after 5 minutes, no problem.
But odds are…
You’ll want to keep going!
Why does this work so well?
Because movement creates momentum.
Tony Robbins says, “People who succeed have momentum. The more they succeed, the more they want to succeed, and the more they find a way to succeed.”
So if you take that first small step — even just for five minutes — you’re setting off a positive chain reaction.
If you need some ideas, you can:
Commit to a 5-minute walk after lunch or dinner
Spend 5 minutes planning your next few meals
Do a 5-minute stretch or meditation
There are no wrong answers!
You’ll continue to make progress, as long as you take that first step.
