Try for 5

When your motivation feels tough to come by: Committing to just trying something for 5 minutes can help you move forward. Today, we’ll practice being kind to ourselves and our motivation. Voiced by Mel Chanté.

Takeaways:
1-  It’s OK to release some of the pressure you put on your productivity.
2- Commit to trying an activity for just five minutes—and be compassionate with yourself.
3- If after five minutes you don't feel like continuing, let it go. Chances are that starting will help push you towards doing it.
