In this episode of Impact Theory, Tom Bilyeu interviews Mel Robbins about her new book, "The High 5 Habit." Mel explains the concept of high-fiving oneself in the mirror each morning as a tool for self-empowerment and rewiring negative thought patterns. She discusses the science behind this habit, including research on intention setting, neurobics, and the power of physical touch. Mel shares personal anecdotes and stories from others who have used the High 5 Habit to overcome challenges and build self-worth. The conversation explores the reticular activating system (RAS) and how to train the brain to focus on positive aspects, as well as strategies for interrupting negative self-talk and cultivating self-compassion. Mel emphasizes the importance of taking responsibility for one's own happiness and healing, even in the face of trauma or unfair circumstances.
