The Rule of Five is effective because it forces you to think outside the box and consider actions you wouldn’t have previously considered.
If you want to go on a diet, what five daily actions could you take that would help you lose weight? The obvious would be exercising and eating healthily, but what other actions could contribute to your long-term goal?
These could include: learning a new healthy recipe, taking the stairs instead of the escalator, emailing a health professional for advice, reading an article on weight loss, and adding a picture of your ideal clothing size to a vision board to motivate you when you feel challenged.
