➡️Step 1: Reason It Will Help You

Your brain is like a guard dog if you are an introverted person. The second you think about talking to someone, it barks: “How can I talk to someone stranger?”

The 5-second hack is like tossing that dog a treat. Here’s the solution:

1. It stops overthinking → Hamster wheel in your head.
2. It tricks your brain → into doing before doubting.
3. It makes you human → not a perfectly polished LinkedIn profile.

Funny example:

Just imagine your brain screaming, “Don’t say anything bullshit!”
You: “Too late, brain. Watch me ask about their cat’s Instagram.”
