Mel Robbins introduced a six-step morning routine aimed at boosting productivity and mental health. The first and crucial step is to rise immediately when the alarm goes off, eliminating the tendency to overthink in bed, which can lead to anxiety and depression. The author tried this routine for a week and noted improvements, particularly in productivity and time management. By day six, the experience shifted positively, showing the effectiveness of Robbins' approach. The article emphasizes the transformative power of such routines in daily life.
She also recommends counting down "5-4-3-2-1" to make the process easier. When I changed my approach to getting up when my alarm went off, I noticed I completed all my tasks earlier.
Robbins shares in the TikTok that "lying in bed makes you overthink and amps up anxiety, and can even make depression worse."
By day six I noticed a complete shift. It was a Saturday, and the momentum from the challenge was still high. I woke up at 7 a.m., did the six steps, worked out, volunteered, and had a productive day.
After watching the viral video, I knew I had to try it out. Robbins is known for her routines, but this one felt different.
