Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast. Oh, 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. Whatever decision it is that you need the courage to make, today, I'm gonna give you the same simple framework that I use, especially when I feel conflicted about the decision or I can't seem to make it. See, we're gonna talk about a number of things today. We're gonna talk about intuition, what it is, how it works. The science is so fascinating.
We're also gonna talk about those moments that are different between when you gotta go with your gut versus when do you need to pause and think through how to deal with the decision. especially in those moments when you feel so conflicted. And most importantly today, you're going to learn how to trust yourself. Our conversation could change the trajectory of your life because I'm going to prove to you, you already know exactly what you should be doing.
