I have used this rule many times... most of all to write papers for my MDiv, to exercise, and to break out of a negative mental cycle.
What is it you have been putting off, but just need to get started doing?
What is God calling you to do, but you just haven't had the courage?
What is one thing in your immediate presence that you need to do, but have been struggling with?
Maybe there's a phone call you need to make. A book you need to read. Something you need to put down. Exercise you need to begin. Or a bit of cleaning you need to do?
Let's start now. Decide what you will do that will only take 5 minutes. Get yourself ready and count down 5 seconds and immediately take some action. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... and go.
I'm publishing this blog.
