This new habit was about taking action, five, four, three, two, one, move.

before you feel ready.

Yeah, I get out of bed.

I'm like five, four, for the first time in six months, I was out of bed when the alarm rang.

No, no, no motivation for that yet.

I'm just like, I'm low bar here.

We're just talking like, get out of bed.

I literally walk into the kitchen and my poor husband's standing there in front of the fridge.

Correct, motherfucker.

And so you know how that thing happens where you see somebody you love and you just want to kill them?

Every day.

I love you, Amanda.

No, no, no.

The people that you love the most are the most annoying.

And so I just went five, four, three, two, one, because I knew he was trying his best.

It wasn't like he was trying to fail and my anger wasn't helping.

And so counting backwards,

interrupted that pattern of snapping and screaming and reacting and gave me this ability to be in charge of what I was doing instead of constantly letting my emotions dictate.

See, this is what everybody gets wrong about motivation.

Motivation is garbage.
