The 3, 2, 1 Method For Dominance🚦
Just GO!
Stuck in The Mud?
It’s nearly the end of January. How are your New Year’s resolutions going?
Whether you aimed for big or small changes this year, you should now have an idea of your pace.
If you’re stuck in the deliberation stage, contemplating how you should go about your goals, you’re like many people who obsess over planning things rather than acting on them.
But thinking isn’t very helpful for getting things done.
Luckily for you, I have a simple fix to this stalling of the engine.
The Countdown (3, 2, 1) Method 🚦
Here's how it works:
Identify the action: What do you want to do?
When you feel that hesitation or doubt creeping in about something you want to do, get ready to count down.
Count down: Count down from 5 to 1 out loud or in your head. You might want to vocalize the task you want to achieve.
Execute: After ‘one’, immediately move or speak to initiate the action or task you want to complete.
Start anywhere: Don’t worry about where to start. You’ve taken action, that’s the hard part. Any angle will work.
Tip: You can count down from a higher number too (some go all the way up to 30)
And that’s it. But what’s the idea behind the countdown method?
Breaking the hesitation cycle: Our brains often overthink and get stuck in analysis paralysis. The countdown interrupts that internal dialogue and triggers immediate action.
Overcoming fear: Fear often stems from the anticipation of taking action. The 5-Second Rule helps you bypass that fear and just do it.
Building momentum: By consistently taking action, even small ones, you build momentum and create a habit of moving forward.
The countdown method is highly effective for wiping away some of the anxiety of executing a new task.
Examples:
Getting out of bed in the morning: 3-2-1 – swing your legs over the side.
Making a phone call: 3-2-1, dial the number.
Starting a workout: 3-2-1, put on your workout clothes.
Before a sprint: 3-2-1 - Just go.
Knowledge is action potential
Action is action.
