The 5 Second Rule

Chezzi Denyer is an Australian TV producer and personality whose career in media has spanned newsrooms, breakfast television, reality TV, and more for many years.

Now today, her biggest life pivot is showing a whole new side of herself as she emerges as the author of her new book and part memoir, The Weird Little Girl Who Talked to Ghosts.

In this episode, Chezzi opens up about the part of her life she has tried to conceal for so long, and the passing of her beautiful friend Amy that reopened the gateways to embrace the weird and connect to spirits in the afterlife, the gift she once tried so hard to ignore.

This chat allows us to see what happens when you stop hiding and start listening, and is for people who have ever felt torn between fear and faith, logic and intuition, or have struggled with who they were told to be versus who they truly are.

I'm gonna share it.

[laughs] I think I saw...

I think it was about eight years ago, I saw your husband, Grant Denyer, on a flight, and at that time in my life, I was working on a parenting digital series with my friend Bessie Kay, and I was reading Mel Robbins' book, The 5 Second Rule.

Chezzi, have you read that?

I'm a big fan of Mel Robbins.

We have notes on her prior two books, The Five Second Rule, which is phenomenal as well, and The High Five Habit, building your self-image and giving yourself some love.

This book, subtitle, The Let Them Theory, subtitle, a life-changing tool that millions of people can't stop talking about.

Let's get to work.

But at the end of the day, you really need to ask yourself, okay, am I doing the right things in the right order? So one thing that personally helped me tremendously is something I did not invent, but it was invented by Mel Robbins.

Mel Robbins invented something that's called the five second rule.

And if you have a hard time to do something, you only count down from five to one and then you just do it.

So I give you an example.

If we remove the time and we just do it and we get it out of our way, it's way, way easier.

But so the hard part is literally only to start this activity.

And also the interesting part is there is basically a great book from Mel Robbins too that's called The Five Second Rule.

In this book, she's talking about the people who are using this.

The amount of time to do it is like a tiny fraction of the one that you're spending.

One of the books I've mentioned in our discussion, I talk about this one a lot, is The Five Second Rule by Mel Robbins.

It's the first book, I believe.

And it really lays into the psychology of making the decision.
