THE HIGH 5 HABIT
Quick Reads - A podcast by Pratham Malhotra

The High 5 Habit is a self-empowerment guide by Mel Robbins that teaches a simple yet powerful practice: giving yourself a high-five in the mirror each morning. This daily gesture, though small, rewires your brain to build self-confidence, self-love, and motivation. Robbins explains how most people cheer for others but constantly criticize themselves—and how this habit flips that script. Through science-backed insights and personal stories, she shows how positive reinforcement and visual cues can override negative self-talk, reduce anxiety, and boost performance. It’s a habit designed to create momentum, self-trust, and joy—starting with one uplifting high-five to yourself each day.
