How's your nervous system doing as we enter the final month of 2021? It's been one heck of a ride for most of us, and tensions are at an all-time high with the ongoing pandemic, the "great resignation," and skyrocketing prices in stores, online, and at gas pumps. If there were ever a time to have a sit down with the great behavior change expert Mel Robbins, it's now.

I first interviewed Mel four years ago when her book The 5 Second Rule hit the bestseller's list. She's now celebrating another book, The High 5 Habit, and I had the pleasure of getting her analysis of where this crazy world is heading. If you're in a state of overwhelm with chronic anxiety, stress, and fear, you don't want to miss what she says we should all be doing right now.

Hint: It's not anxiously waiting to see what madness will fall on us next!

Mel comes through with some powerful advice on calming our nervous systems and easing anxiety even when there's so much to justify chronic stress. From setting yourself up for greater creativity and productivity with the right morning routine to a simple mantra that could change your mindset, Mel's wisdom is just what we all need to hear as we head into a new year.

Enjoy!
