00:00:05

thinks it is the best decision maker,

00:00:08

the one who will make the best decisions.

00:00:10

It believes that it is rational and has more distance than our

00:00:13

intuition or instinct to tell us what we should and shouldn't do.

00:00:18

Do you know that victims of manipulation have an above average IQ?

00:00:23

They are more stuck in their mind.

00:00:24

They ask a lot of questions.

00:00:26

They question themselves a lot,

00:00:28

and overwhelmed by conflicting information,

00:00:32

overwhelmed by contradictory and divergent points of view,

00:00:36

they end up bending to the opinions of those who have no doubts,

00:00:40

those who proclaim their convictions louder or more skilfully.

00:00:45

How do you go from the mind to common sense?

00:00:48

To be more intelligent,

00:00:50

to be more mental,

00:00:51

is to risk losing oneself in analysis

00:00:54

instead of trusting one's intuition,

00:00:56

one's internal common sense.

00:00:59

Our mind has a primordial function to keep us in a comfortable life,

00:01:04

an OK life.

00:01:06

So it amplifies all the risks.

00:01:09

It protects us by amplifying the risks of getting out of our habits.

00:01:14

It sends us self-doubt.

00:01:17

The more we are cerebral,

00:01:19

the more analytical we are,

00:01:21

the more we will pay attention to the discourses of the mind.

00:01:25

Most very cerebral people end up in a very cerebral profession

00:01:30

with a lot of thinking and little action.

00:01:33

How can we develop self-confidence and confidence in life

00:01:38

when the vast majority of our activity takes place only in the brain?

00:01:44

When we are constantly confronted

00:01:46

with the abstraction of ideas and tuned with

00:01:49

a virtual world that only addresses the mind,

00:01:53

when we are stuck in our mind,

00:01:56

far from reality,

00:01:57

far from having our feet on the ground,

00:01:59

our hands in the ground,

00:02:01

we can obviously trust our intelligence,

00:02:04

our general culture,

00:02:05

but it doesn't guarantee us to make good decisions.

00:02:08

We are more than a brain.

00:02:11

I know people with high IQ who took bad

00:02:14

decisions and who lack real confidence in themselves,

00:02:18

confidence in life,

00:02:19

anchored in the body,

00:02:20

anchored in practical life.

00:02:22

The more we think,

00:02:24

the more room we give to the mind and the more

00:02:26

it will self-censor us on every desire to take risks.

00:02:30

Too much analysis paralyzes action.

00:02:34

The mind will lose us in multiple options,

00:02:37

and we will not know how to choose,

00:02:40

or it will tell us,

00:02:41

yes,

00:02:41

but

00:02:43

this is not the right time.

00:02:44

You don't have the skills.

00:02:46

You'd better shut up.

00:02:48

Self-doubt is one of its favorite cards to paralyze us,

00:02:52

to stop us in our tracks.

00:02:54

If you replace your analysis with your inner common sense,

00:02:59

we even talk about common sense in action.

00:03:01

You'll take action much more easily.

00:03:04

Common sense does not dissect decisions.

00:03:07

It senses them,

00:03:09

lives them,

00:03:10

and acts on them quickly.

00:03:12

The mind may be smart,

00:03:14

but common sense is much more clever,

00:03:17

much more astute.

00:03:18

It is more practical.

00:03:20

The sense of what brings good or bad feelings,

00:03:24

the sense of what serves us or loses us.

00:03:27

If you are one of these people who have doubts which make you hesitate,

00:03:31

recoil,

00:03:32

or even paralyze,

00:03:34

use your common sense.

00:03:36

If you are already too brainy,

00:03:38

don't ask yourself the question,

00:03:40

Is this a good decision?

00:03:42

If the mind has got the better of you,

00:03:45

don't ask yourself the question,

00:03:47

how am I going to do it.

00:03:49

These are questions addressed to the mind.

00:03:51

You know how it is likely to answer you with ifs and buts.

00:03:56

Above all,

00:03:56

question your common sense.

00:03:59

Do you feel it or not?

00:04:01

And if the answer is yes,

00:04:03

then OK,

00:04:03

let's do it.

00:04:04

Where do we start and go for it.

00:04:07

Because common sense doesn't make medium and long

00:04:11

term action plans like the mind would,

00:04:14

sometimes it's useful but not always.

00:04:16

Common sense starts the action.

00:04:19

It takes the bull by the horns,

00:04:21

and if the road gets congested at the first turn,

00:04:24

it goes to fetch its shovel from the van.

00:04:27

Can you feel it or not is the right question for people who are too much in their minds,

00:04:33

too intelligent,

00:04:34

who get lost and paralyzed in too much analysis with ifs and buts.

00:04:39

Close your eyes,

00:04:40

unplug the mind,

00:04:42

take a deep breath.

00:04:43

Go and look for your second brain,

00:04:46

the one in the belly.

00:04:47

Yes,

00:04:47

there is a neural network in the belly in the guts.

00:04:50

That's why it's called the second brain.

00:04:53

And ask yourself the question,

00:04:55

do you feel it or not?

00:04:57

Do you feel like it or not?

00:04:59

Mel Robbins is the author of the Five Second Rule.

00:05:03

She came out of her depression thanks to this 5 2nd rule.

00:05:06

54321.

00:05:09

That's how she got out of bed.

00:05:11

54321.

00:05:14

This is how she pushes herself to all the action.

00:05:17

That challenge her

00:05:18

for her,

00:05:19

she doesn't need to work on her self-confidence to take action.

00:05:23

54321

00:05:26

and I call my client

00:05:27

54321 and I make an appointment with my bank.

00:05:32

Why 5 seconds?

00:05:35

Because we all have that 5 2nd window of fire

00:05:39

before the mind can intervene and self-censor us.

00:05:43

The alarm goes off 54321,

00:05:47

and I get up

00:05:49

before my mind has had the time to tell me I'm tired,

00:05:52

it's too cold.

00:05:53

54321,

00:05:56

and I pick up the phone before my mind has had time to tell me

00:06:00

that it's not the right time or that the customer is going to hang up on me.

00:06:05

Short circuit the mind's analysis by taking it by surprise.

00:06:10

By the time it comes on to say stop,

00:06:12

we have already taken action,

00:06:14

so it follows.

00:06:16

And

00:06:17

according to Mel Robbins,

00:06:19

our window of freedom from censorship of the mind is 5 seconds,

00:06:24

54321,

00:06:26

action.

00:06:27

No time to hear the mind's excuses,

00:06:29

no time to let its resignation and complaints paralyze us.

00:06:33

No time to ask ourselves a lot of questions that delay the action.

00:06:37

There are decisions you can never be 100% certain of.

00:06:42

As a result,

00:06:43

your mind will never give the green light.

00:06:46

Will you let it block you with too much analysis?

00:06:50

You will never be ready to start a business,

00:06:52

but you can say 54321,

00:06:56

I make an appointment with a legal advisor.

00:06:59

You'll never be ready for that important conversation,

00:07:02

but 54321,

00:07:05

I'll bring it up.

00:07:07

You'll never be sure it's a good idea to apply for this job,

00:07:10

but

00:07:11

543 21,

00:07:14

I send my CV.

00:07:16

I invite you to combine this technique

00:07:19

with listening to

00:07:21

intuition.

00:07:22

When you feel an intuition,

00:07:24

such as going to talk to your managing director

00:07:27

that you pass in the hallway,

00:07:29

say 54321,

00:07:32

and go ahead.

00:07:33

Because otherwise,

00:07:35

the weight of habit and the self censorship of your mind

00:07:39

will take the lead and say to the managing director,

00:07:42

good morning,

00:07:43

that's all.
