| 0:00.0 | What's going on everybody? Welcome back to the Mind Over Macros Podcast. As always, I'm |
| 0:09.5 | your host Mike Milner and today I want to talk about something that is a common mistake I see a lot of people making and this is something that I dealt with for a very long time, especially in the beginning of my fitness journey. |
| 0:26.6 | And it's really something that applies to all areas of life. |
| 0:29.9 | And I would have to say that it's probably the most common mistake or I should say it's the most common |
| 0:39.6 | dream killer if you have like a goal if you have aspirations if you're trying to |
| 0:44.4 | accomplish something within your fitness within your relationships within your |
| 0:49.4 | life within your career this one mistake this one thing I'm about to reveal is the number one |
| 0:57.6 | killer of all progress and that is making no decision in action. |
| 1:05.0 | And it's something that I feel like as humans we spend so much time |
| 1:11.0 | trying to analyze whether we're making the right decision or the wrong decision that we end up making no decision. |

| 1:41.2 | It was like this this defense mechanism that I had in my brain, but like all of a sudden as I was going through analyzing, you know, the details of a situation, I would then either grab my phone and start scrolling on |
| 1:54.8 | social media or I would turn on the TV or just like anything to distract me |
| 2:01.9 | from actually making a decision. And then it's like this temporary |
| 2:06.3 | feeling of comfort like, oh few that's that's out of my mind I don't have to deal with |
| 2:10.6 | this anymore but obviously if you don't deal with it you remain in the same position |
| 2:16.1 | so I always say that you know no decision at all is the most surefire way to guarantee that you will remain stuck. If you're not happy |
| 2:25.9 | with where you are, making no decision and taking no action will literally guarantee that |
| 2:31.6 | you stay exactly where you are. |
| 2:33.7 | If you're not happy with that, you know, then you obviously have to do something different. |
