While hosting an "Ask Me Anything" with the awesome community at TheSkimm, someone asked me a question I really wanted to address: "Hey, Mel, I tried the 5 Second Rule and it's still NOT working for me. What am I doing wrong?"

You're not doing anything wrong. This year, if you have resolutions and goals, you are going to have to realize one truth: to get what you want, you have to push yourself beyond the feelings and the resistance. So, when the 5 Second Rule doesn't work...this is why.
