0:00Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast.

0:08You 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.

0:17In 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.

0:35Set an important goal and start pursuing it, no matter what your life looks like.

0:40Now, I know what you're thinking.

0:41I'm supposed to add something in, Mel?

0:43Set an important goal?

0:46I don't have time for anything else in my life right now.

0:48I get it.

0:49That's the first thing I thought when I read this research too, because you probably feel like you have no time.

0:54You're in reaction mode all the time.

0:57I 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.
