Today's bite-size episode is sponsored by The Way. I have tried so many meditation apps over the years,

but I've never come across one as good or as effective as The Way. I find it a fantastic way

to start off each day, and it has really helped me feel calmer, relaxed and more present. In fact, I love this app so much that I

recently decided to invest in the company and join them in their mission to get more people meditating.

Meditation has been shown to have all kinds of benefits, reducing stress, increasing calm,

improving focus, and over time has even been shown to result in positive

structural changes in the brain in areas linked to memory, focus and emotional regulation.

But of course, you only get those benefits if you actually do it.

And that's one of the main reasons I love the

way so much. It makes it really easy to establish a meditation practice that sticks. The way

are offering my podcast listeners an incredible 30 free meditation sessions to get you started with

your practice. To take advantage, all you have to do

is go to the way app.com forward slash live more. Welcome to feel better live more bite size,

your weekly dose of positivity and optimism to get you ready for the weekend.

Today's clip is from episode 537 of the podcast with Professor of Psychology at Harvard

and how our thoughts can shape every aspect of our lives.

In this clip, she shares a refreshing approach to decision-making

that could help us stop overthinking, let go off regrets, and feel more confident in the choices we make.

This idea that we don't know, I think this plays into your rather provocative section in your book on decision-making, right?

Yeah, no.

I wonder if you could talk about decision-making a little bit.
