Stuck? Count down from five and move before your mind talks you out of it.

Waiting to feel ready usually makes starting harder, because the longer you hesitate, the heavier it feels. Counting down five, four, three, two, one gives you a quick launch signal, so you move before your mind has time to argue. It's like jumping into a cold pool: the less you think, the easier the first step.

Try today: Next time you're stuck, count five, four, three, two, one, and move. Just one small step.
