Nice video and Thank you also for recommending your broker jessica Robert, her services are exceptional and I've been earning greatly from investing with her

[@parkerwillson4643]

Jessica Robert really is doing a lot of people a genuine favor with her daily signal! I've earned alot also

[@jeminezaxel5292]

Wow i'm glad i did. I withdrew my first profit two days ago now I have another ongoing trade with her

[@mabelbrown7291]

The fruitfulness of your trading lies on the account manager or the expert

[@bernardwilson1906]

saw recommendation but I did not bother chating her up

[@darrenboss5701]

I have been seeing so many recommendations about Jessica Robert on different platforms trending I think she must be good for people to talk about her

[@janiverster6162]

What struck me the most is how comfortable Mel is with failure. THIS is life-changing to me: that someone that successful could have screwed up so many times, and still come out on top. Amazing. Thank you a million times.

[@ylimerivers]

I agree.

[@SPDATA1]

Me too agree to the fullest. 🙏

[@carolgeorge6409]

I agree❤️

[@larryguinee6344]

She comfortable with it as she has now moved past it. When she was going through it, she never could have talked about it like this. One take off for me is that shit will happen, mistakes will be made and you have to accept that and learn from the hard times and mistakes and really persevere. The high five yourself is a new and interesting concept to me. To supplement what she says about why it works is the idea that success breeds success. So start with small success and celebrate them, applaud yourself. String together several small successes as part of a larger success and your subconscious will respond by changing it's patterns and steering you toward more success. One big benefit of meditation and visualization, is in order to get to the point of effective visualization is, you have to clear your mind of all the crap that typically runs through it. You start with the relaxation breathing and focus on the breathing as you let all those various thoughts slip away. It may take several tries, spending 20-30 minutes of relaxation breathing to be able to clear your mind, but it will get easier and you will get to that point quicker, the more you practice it. I first did the relaxation techniques in high school for athletic competition. The counting down that she discusses here I also used while racing as a way to get me ready to "make a gear change". My point being that when you learn and employ some of these simple techniques for a specific purpose, doing small modifications using the same techniques, you will be able to adapt the benefits to other venues. eg. I learned it (being my routine) to help me in racing, Mel was using similar techniques to help with career and it can be adapted to help with relationships. Deepak Chopra also gives a lot of same information contained here, but it gets delivered a little different. I really like the way Mel explains it. Several books also explain how meditation and positive self talk work. Think and Grow Rich was the book I read in high school that introduced me to the idea and techniques of retraining the brain to help you rather than give you doubts and fears that hold you back. Anyway, hope my missive helps..

[@closebutnope4978]

Yeah I love how they started the interview that way. Really helps build rapport with the viewers.

[@donnaandre7633]

“This moment is preparing you for something amazing that hasn’t happened yet. Keep going.” This really resonated with me. 🙏

[@larryguinee6344]

I call that a step in the right direction. Applaud yourself for that first step and that will lead to the next. If a problem or task seems too big to accomplish, just break it all down into a series of steps. Take one step at a time. Each step taken makes the next step easier. It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life and get overwhelmed but by listening to this and knowing that there are some simple things you can do and as silly as it seems, actually work and work very well, you have really taken a big step towards being able succeed in anything you do. Now you know. Next time you get overwhelmed, stop, relax and go back to just taking one step at a time. Remember to clear the doubt out of your mind and just focus on each step as it comes. I would love to hear about something that you have done in the past 8 months in which you employed Mel's techniques and how well it worked for you. If you had a few stumbles, no worries, each time you use what you learned you will get better at it, so don't let a few bumps derail you. Just keep going.

[@MsTitty77]

I have attempted to meditate many times in my life and prior to this CD the only success I've experienced is with live guided meditation. kzbin.infoUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq This is the first CD I've used that cuts through my unmedicated ADHD and enables me to truly relax and experience a quiet and energizing interval. The instructors voice is very soothing and pleasant to listen to. I am easily able to sit successfully through the entire CD, and for quite some time after. I cannot adequately express how tremendously helpful this CD has been on my spiritual journey!! Two thumbs up and 10 stars!

[@onebluestone]

Mel and Rich, it was two hours of pure gold. I know it's going to make a huge difference in how I take action and how I love myself. Thank you

[@jengroff]

This is the best single podcast episode, of any podcast, that I’ve listened to this year. Many thanks to both Rich and Mel.

[@TechOutAdam]

43:16 I swear people admitting their failures and when they hit rock bottom is refreshing. Weird way to put it but this year I made a major change and have faced really scary times financially. It was my favorite part of the podcast. We can’t highlight reel our reality to others all the time. Thanks for this Mel! We need more honesty like this. ✋🏼🤚🏼

[@andriadefilippi4512]

initially, i wasn't drawn to this conversation. i started listening and thought that i wouldn't be able to relate to this woman. after watching the entire thing, i appreciate her honesty and admire her love for the simple things we can do to advocate for ourselves, to grow to love ourselves, and to work with the power of our minds. thank you!

[@carolgreenan2022]

Thanks Rich for another great podcast. I "lost everything" after the housing crisis. I've experienced exactly what Mel described. I quit my job this summer and started digging through a lifetime of emotional garbage. This is perfect timing to add to my arsenal moving forward in a more fulfilled life.

[@VeganSoulMama]

This is a life altering pod cast. Her honesty and transparency is humbling. I love this discussion. Thank you!

In Social Work the mantra is " meet the person where they're at..." What Mel seems to be saying is.."Meet yourself where you're at.. " Thanks Mel

[@JB5D]

No thanks hah I'd rather push for excellence / exceed my grasp. Comfort zones are where dreams die.

[@carolynblakeney966]

Totally missed the point. Zoom over the head.

[@victoriaaragon9294]

Okay this is the third interview I've watched with Mel, about her newest book. I can't stop watching!! Every interview blows my mind, every interview she tell different stories. I'm blown away but this lady and I can't wait to shake her hand one day! Also, I didn't realize how bad her anxiety was, the story about the AG and the speech.... that's me, or should I say that WAS me. I was afraid to talk on the phone or even deal with customer's at my previous place of employment. Now I'm doing network marketing literally something I never saw my self doing, and now I can't imagine doing anything else. I've broke out of my anxious, sad, limiting shell and I'm thriving, and I owe it all to self development and God. Now this high five habit is going to shoot me and my career into outer space!!!

[@AlKhttabAlSaqri]

THIS IS THE BEST PODCAST I HAVE LISTENED TO IN THIS YEAR SO FAR

[@allisonosborne5881]

I can't tell you how perfectly timed this interview was. Thank ya'll so, so much. I am in the middle of a massive career change (vegan baker/chef for a decade to software developer) and have been having waves of fear and self-doubt. Already high-fiving myself and, honestly, feeling better and more motivated! I can't wait to see where this kooky journey will lead. So much appreciation from Nashville, TN

i am not good at listening and understanding the whole contexts exactly. it's because i'm a foreigner but this video turns into the motivation for me to learn english more harder than now. really appreciate to mel and rich to share their stories! and one of the memorable part rich said is "it helps remind me that this difficult situation is happening 'for' me and not 'to' me" it's empowering me. thanks y'all

[@MelodyProsser]

I really needed to hear this today. I'm someone for whom the i-beams didn't always line up and I fell. It's a real challenge to remain focused on moving forward in the face of sustained, long-term panic and stress. I'm starting over as well in an effort to get myself out of poverty.

I loved this interview and the fascinating back story about Mel Robbins’ career rise. I found the story of grit and resilience in her marriage to be really inspiring. Rich has such a gift for creating an environment for deep truth-telling. I’m amazed at how easy he makes it look, but to create a cone of safety for the guest and and to be that free and casual with all the studio tech going on is a clinic in documentary interviewing : ).

[@arcticfox8779]

I really needed this podcast badly..thank you so much. I did the 5 second countdown about 15 times during the end of my first 50k. It was the only way I got through it because my body was hurting so much I couldn't respond. But counting down helped me start running again when I thought I couldn't. Thanks for this podcast rich!.

[@missheartbreak]

Now THIS is the kind of story we need. So thankful to hear what she’s gone through… how she’s reframed… and that everything happens as it’s meant to.

[@jennifermcnuttmusic6353]

Mel is the bomb! Great ep. I started listening to her in 2018 and love her book The 5 Second Rule. It honestly helped me perform without the pre performance, performance anxiety that has plagued me for my entire life. She’s so funny, down to earth and completely honest. Well done 👏🏼 Please have her back ASAP Rich!

Mel Robbins doesn't know this but she's about to change my life. I relate to so much of her story, being riddled with anxiety, homesick as a kid to the point an emergency Dr was called in, diagnosed with GAD in my 40s, living in a constant state of anxiety, I used alcohol to mask my feelings. I could go on. Instead I'm going to embrace everything she says and do everything she does so that I can be the person I believe I'm meant to be. Thank you for your awesome and life changing podcast.

I've heard only a half of the episode so far but I can't believe how many similarities there are between her story and Simon Sinek's. The TEDx happening quite organically for both of them, not intending to become speakers, speaking about a very simple idea that worked for them, the talk becoming hugely popular online without them even knowing, the first book not being on the list but becoming a bestseller later on.... And, she articulated her WHY quite clearly. To move people 👏👏👏

This is great. As an aside, I love that she curses like a sailor. It made me feel at home ;)

[@marknolan2799]

Very inspiring. Sometimes you feel like you are the only one struggling and kicking yourself for past mistakes. Then you realize you are not the only one and that you can persevere. We all have so many blessings and we forget that sometimes.

Thank you Rich for pointing out the problems with the self help industry. Some of it has absolutely “made me” to a shrinking flower. And thank you Mel for sharing your shitty moment in front of the mirror. I love your honesty

I listened to this through the day, as it was ending I was on the couch. I looked out the window and of course I see the ❤ shaped leaves on the arbor! Love and light to you both! P.s. I would watch Mel Ribbon show and listen to pod cast and now know why I couldn't find her, was right at beginning of shut down too! I was so sad...oh, and I High 5'd myself in the mirror yesterday, hearing this today I was like I guess I'm definitely into something!😊

Thanks, I needed this today. It's been a rough year and after finally getting a job I got hurt and can't work again. I've had very negative thoughts and I will try these techniques to move forward.
