In this short motivational monologue, Mel Robbins encourages viewers to end the day with the affirmation “Tomorrow’s gonna be a good day.” She explains that worrying is essentially betting on a negative outcome, whereas repeating a positive statement reframes the mind, reduces anxiety, and primes the brain for a restful night and a better waking state. Robbins describes how the brain remains active when stressed, scanning for threats, and how a positive affirmation signals it that it’s safe to relax. She also credits Dr. Daniel Amen, who starts his mornings with a similar affirmation, as the inspiration for adopting the practice at night. By placing a bet on oneself and visualizing a good day, Robbins claims the mind is more likely to wake up refreshed, make better decisions, and experience a genuinely better day.

Chapters

Tomorrow's gonna be a good day. That's what it is. Tomorrow's gonna be a good day. You know, because here's the thing, we don't know how tomorrow's gonna be, do we? So if we don't know, we might as well bet on the positive instead of worrying about it, because that's what worrying is. You're betting on the negative when you worry. How about you say instead, tomorrow's gonna be a good day because I'm gonna make it a good day. I'm gonna wake up refreshed. It's gonna be a good day. See, when you go to bed, stressed out, anxious, worrying, bracing, you know what your brain's doing? It's not relaxing. Your brain is probably going to be scanning for reasons why. It's almost like presetting how you're going to wake up. And so when you go to bed expecting something good, you're now telling your brain, hey, it's okay to rest. Tomorrow's gonna be a good day, right? This is my time. Don't need to solve this. Tomorrow's gonna be a good day. Okay? When you say tomorrow's gonna be a good day, you're also placing a bet on yourself. You're placing a bet on your ability to wake up tomorrow and to make it a good day, to have better thoughts, to be more refreshed, to make good decisions. And so you're priming yourself for waking up in a state state where of course it's gonna be a good day. And the person that inspired this one is Dr. Daniel Amen. Dr. Amen starts every day by saying, "Today is gonna be a good day." And that's also something that I have adopted since he came on the podcast and explained that that's one of his morning rituals. But now I have taken that, I'm inspired by Dr. Daniel Amen, and I also say it at night, "Tomorrow's gonna be a good day." because now I am changing the settings in my mind, and I am now changing the settings in my mind to anticipate that the day is going to be good. And when you do that, I promise you, it will most likely be better than it was if you were going to be worrying about it. That's why this works.
