CHAPTER	EIGHT

 HOW	TO	START	USING	THE	RULE

T he	fastest	way	to	implement	the	#5SecondRule	is	to	start	by	using	it	the	exact
       same	 way	 I	 did.	 Here’s	 a	 simple	 Wake	 Up	 Challenge	 that	 you	 can	 do
tomorrow	 morning	 to	 jumpstart	 your	 use	 of 	 the	 Rule.	 Just	 set	 your	 alarm	 30
minutes	 earlier	 than	 usual,	 and	 the	 moment	 it	 rings	 count	 5-	 4-	 3-	 2-	 1	 push
yourself 	out	of 	bed.

Change	Is	Simple,	Not	Easy

    There	are	a	few	reasons	why	this	challenge	is	important.
    First,	there’s	no	wiggle	room.	The	challenge	is	straightforward.	It’s	just	you,	the
alarm	clock,	and	5-	4-	3-	2-	1.	If 	you	fail,	it’s	because	you	made	a	decision	to	blow
off 	the	#5SecondRule.
