Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast.

You know, there's this one piece of research that I first saw four years ago, and it has changed the way I look at my entire life.

In those moments...

where your life just feels out of control.

Research proves that the single fastest way to start to feel in control of your time and your life again is to add in something meaningful right now.

Set an important goal and start pursuing it, no matter what your life looks like.

Now, I know what you're thinking.

I'm supposed to add something in, Mel?

Set an important goal?

I don't have time for anything else in my life right now.

I get it.

That's the first thing I thought when I read this research too.

Because you probably feel like you have no time.

You're in reaction mode all the time.

I mean, how could you even think about your goals or adding in something meaningful or important into your life when you work in a hospital and your days are nonstop or you're a teacher and you're so overwhelmed before the first bell even rings or you're a caregiver and it feels like everybody else comes first.

There's never any time for you.

That's exactly why you need to set an important personal goal right now.

Because personal goals are how you reclaim yourself.

That's how you say, I'm not just my job.

I'm not just the things I do for other people.
