Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins podcast. So I was just talking to our executive producer for this podcast, her name's Tracy, and she told me this story that I just had to share with you because I know you're gonna relate. So the other day, she wakes up, she has huge plans, she's excited for the day. But then what did she do? She reaches for her phone.

Now the reason she reached for the phone, it's a really good reason. She said she's just trying to stay informed with all the news that's going on right now. Well, she's informed all right in bed for an hour, but the result of that choice to reach for the phone, really bad. See, that one tiny choice to reach for the phone meant she wasted an entire hour in bed. And by the time she got out of bed, she was running late.

And now she's cranky because she doesn't have time to eat and she's exhausted and she's freaking out and her big plans are kind of derailed because she didn't mean to stay in bed that long. And just really stop and think about the power that one tiny choice. The power that it has to leave you stressed, late, cranky, behind. Well, that's what you and I are going to talk about today. Four micro choices that have a major impact on your life every day.
