Today I'm gonna be sharing with you my singular rule that I use for outproducing so many people on a daily basis. And if you don't get this rule, Trust me, you're screwing yourself over, but you don't even know it. Most of the world is doing that, and today for you, it gets to stop. What is the world coming to? It is changing so fast.

And with it, we got 87% of people that don't even like what they do for a living. We've got one third of all people in America that are just dissatisfied with their life, as in unhappy. That's a hundred million plus people. Like check that out. Listen, if you want to understand this rule, you have to actually start by asking yourself, what do I want?

Like you've got to get clear for you. Is it money that you want? Is it a residual income so you can quit a job that you maybe hate? Is it like how do I slay it in my relationships and get 10 out of 10? Is it 40 pounds that I'm trying to lose? You gotta first be super clear on something that you want. And if you can figure that out right now, you're gonna love this rule. But you see, here's the real big problem that we're dealing with today. Information is available.

Like right now, what you really don't need is a how-to on how to lose the 40 pounds or slate in your relationships. I mean, look at how much of information is available. Online courses, it's freaking free. I mean, look at what TEDx produces, YouTube videos like this. The information is out there, and yet why aren't we acting on it? Dude, this is the biggest thing that I hear people say. I'm okay. What do you mean that you're just okay?

Like, do you realize that you competed against 400 trillion sperm for you to have your shot here on this planet and you're here? You like won the prize, you won the lottery, and I'm okay. Like, I want to lose the weight. I didn't. I'm okay. I'm just like living with it. We want these things.

But today I want to share with you the secret on why we're actually not going after it, even though we want it, and that's how we screw ourselves over. You see the information is out there, but whether you're taking action on it, it all comes down to you want to write this down, activation energy. And activation energy is when you actually say, I'm gonna activate and do something. Like for example, you wake up in the morning, your alarm goes off.

And what do 90% of people do? They hit the snooze button. Just like they're hitting the snooze button on life because they're thinking, oh My bed is so comfortable. It's so nice to be lying here. I'll get up in a little bit. Dude, you know you got to get out of bed. You know you got to get hauling. You got to get moving. You got life to live, but we're on hold. The activation energy isn't there. Usually people will actually activate at the last possible moment and then they're gonna start life.

But you see the way we do our snooze clock is actually the way that we do life. Someone that I follow is Mel Robbins, and she does an amazing job in her interpretation of how the brain works. She says that your brain pretty much has really like two modes. It either has autopilot mode or it has like emergency brake mode.

And that's that fight or flight, right? And so most of us are living inside of our comfort zone and we want to lose the weight. We want the killer relationship. We want to make the money. But we're not acting on it. That activation energy is not being applied to make it happen. And so we want something, we get used to not having it.

And it's because every time we're about to do it and we start thinking about how hard it's gonna be or how difficult, we hit the emergency break and we pop right back into autopilot mode. We're talking about consciously you developing a third part of your brain. And I'm gonna call that conscious. Creator.

And so instead of just autopilot, I'm doing my thing, I'm in my comfort zone, and then uh-oh, thinking of doing something, emergency break, go back into my comfort zone. Conscious creation is where we're going to leverage what Mel calls.

The five-second rule. And the five-second rule essentially says this: when you feel an impulse to do something, when you're about to break free out of the pattern, when it's time to get out of bed or make something happen, you've got five seconds. And after five seconds, the emergency brake is going to get pulled and you're going to be stopped dead in your track.

and you're gonna go back. The reason why I outproduce so many people is because I've habituated myself with this five-second rule of saying the impulse is there, the impulse is good, I got five seconds to act on it, and if I don't,

I'm gonna mess myself over. Here's what you gotta do. You've got to actually ask yourself, what am I going after? What do I want? I'm losing the weight. I want to slate my relationships. I want to start this business. I want to make that money. I want to be a better parent.

And whether you do or not comes down to your ability to train yourself to shift from your brain is either saying, I'm out here in habituation mode, I got my hand on the brake, I'm gonna pump the brakes on this hardcore to I'm gonna become a conscious creator of my life. I know what I want and when I have the information and I know what needs to happen, I act in less than five seconds, I jump out of bed, I don't hit that snooze, and I actually make life happen. Your problem isn't ideas.

You've got plenty of them. Your problem is acting on them. So remember this. You're one in 400 trillion. You're the freaking winner. Start applying the five-second rule and getting up and making it happen. That's it for today's episode of Have It All. Chris releases a new life-changing podcast every day.
