Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins podcast. Ooh, I'm so glad you are here because today you and I have a great thing to talk about. We're going to talk about the power of your decisions. And you made a great decision to be here right now because if you're tired of overthinking everything or doubting yourself or second guessing every move, If you've ever wanted to learn how to trust your gut and your intuition, you're in the right place right now.

See, I believe you're one decision away from a different life. And we're going to talk about how to leverage the power of your decisions to create a better life. See, today, I am probably one of the most decisive people you'll ever meet, but I wasn't always this way. The old Mel Robbins, I used to overthink everything. I would second guess myself all the time.

And even when I knew in my gut what I should do, you know, those moments when you just know, I would always second guess myself or I just wouldn't listen to it. See, I've learned how to be confident as a decision maker. It's a skill. And it's a skill that I'm going to help you learn today. So whether you're struggling with a decision that's pretty big right now, whether you're thinking about ending a relationship or changing careers or maybe there's something smaller, you're chronically giving up on yourself because you can never make the decision to go to the gym or you're constantly hitting the snooze button, which is also a decision, by the way.
