• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I have a small list, a small one.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, so there's only five things on.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, well it's radio from Hell with another list,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: because people love a good list. Nine six. We love
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: a small good list.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Yes, healthy people tend to follow a few simple morning
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: habits that most people skip. Not about perfection, but small,
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: consistent habits that quietly set the tone for better days.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Number one, they get bright light exposure early.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: We don't get that, no, never. But I could put
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: a sun lamp in my office at home maybe.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: But they're saying outdoor light is best, like even just
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: stepping outside in the morning and see.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: But we don't yeh dark when I do that. Yeah.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: They drink sixteen ounces of water right away, right away, immediately.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Now I drink a lot of water.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I don't do sixteen outs.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: That's a lot of water immediately. Research research studies showed
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: drinking that much water increase the metabolic rate by about
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: thirty percent.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: So apparently peeing a lot is good for your health too.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it kickstarts your brain. Your brain is seventy five
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: percent water. When it's hydrated, it can work properly.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Sixteen ounces, Yeah.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: That's a lot.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: If you really pay attention, Just like in a quiet room,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: if you shake your head just so you can actually
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: hear your brain kind of slashing around in all that water,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: slashing around in the water. I know I can hear it.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Say something grateful out loud. This is great, this is
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: something else I can't do.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I'm glad, I'm glad, I woke up alive.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Can I say it in my head?
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: No? I can't say it aloud, Gina, They're not. If
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: you're downstairs in the kitchen, probably not.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: No, you can hear totally hear.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: So you don't want them to hear that you're grateful
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: about something? Is that?
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: What? Now?
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: What sort of thing are they talking about?
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: So gratitude is specific health benefits worth enjoying every morning.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: A gratitude researcher, doctor Robi Evans, has scientifically proven a
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: link between gratitude and happiness, and an experimental comparison, those
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: who keep gratitude journals exercise regularly reported pure symptoms better health.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Do I do that every morning?
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: You do?
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: You're right? In a gratitude journal.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I know I say something out loud, like this morning,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I said, I'm sure glad that that guy passed on
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the street yesterday, didn't stab me.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I guess you're great.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I'm great for that.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Sure, they meditate for at least five minutes. Now I
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: would just go back to sleep.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the problem with meditating. See.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I would like to try meditating, but I will fall asleep.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I used to go with Brad once a week.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Brad Wheeler to the zendo.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Zendo and do some meditations, and I would almost always
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: fall asleep.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: They say meditation.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Experts have long recommended you begin your day with meditation.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: It's referred to as the time you are close to.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Your source, your source of what.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe you're supposed to do it next to the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: coffee pot. Huh.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: I just don't think I could. And then number five
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: they move their body even a little. One study published
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: in Medicine and Science Sports found big benefits to people
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: who work out immediately after they wake up.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: So is that you say move your body even a little,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: So does it count Like I sit down on the
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: toilet and then I stand up when I'm done, that's
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: a little bit of that's a movement, and it's a
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: little bit of physical movement as well.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: So in this one, I like to in the morning.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: When I get up, I have a little round of
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: yoga stretches that.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: I like to do. Yeah, I got there. I got
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: a downward dog.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: I do a little cat cow where you are your
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: back and then you.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Do this, do that.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: It feels good.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: That's what your family hear you doing.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Well, So I mean I I think I can do
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: it quietly. I go out into the hall, so not
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: in the bedroom because Joe's sleeping, go out into the hall.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: But then when I'm in the hall, the dogs can
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: hear me. Ah, because so even if.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: I don't say my gratitude out loud, even if all
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I'm doing is little yoga stretches that I'm not Are.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: You worried you're disturbing the dogs?
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: No, But they wake up and once they think, okay,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: we're up. Carrie knows what I'm talking about. I can't
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: do though.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: They're they're up, They're they're ready to go outside, they're
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: ready to they want to treat they the day has started.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: You can't you do your yoga stretches in the sitting room.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Well, no, I mean that that wouldn't matter there wherever
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: I would do them, they hear that I'm lock.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Them in the garage.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: So I would like to be able to do that.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: But and sometimes the dogs will hear me up getting
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: ready for work and they'll be like whining and wanting things,
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, I.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Will deal with you when I'm done getting ready.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: So pretty much you have an excuse for not doing
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: any of those kind of yeah, you have an excuse
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: tailor made for each one of those I wish.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: So last night I went to bed and I put
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: earplugs in like I always do, because you said, can't
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: you go down in the kitchen and say you're grudged?
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: The way our house is it's just echoey. I can
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: even hear, you know, just walking around.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I've been in Gina's house, and the reason it's echoe
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: is there's absolutely no furniture and no carpeting. It's just
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: like it's almost like a living in a warehouse.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: It's clean. My house is cleaning.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Speaking of that, I did another thing over the weekend
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: called house hushing.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Remind me what this is. I've heard the term.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: So it's it's thought that if you have a lot
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: of clutter, a lot of things, it's noisy, meaning mental noise,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: like you're seeing a lot of clutter, Like like I'm like,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: so we're redoing the studio here, and behind me there's
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: a bunch of pictures and they're just kind of on
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: the wall and in a stag and you look at
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: that and there's something unsettling about it, like that needs
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: to be taken care of. So house hushing means you
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: go through your house mm now now to really do it,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: They say, you take all the clutter to what Bill
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: is saying, my house, there's like nothing in it, like
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: all the knickknacks, anything that's stacked on a shelf, anything
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: that's on your dining room table, and you put it
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: all like in a spare bedroom, okay, and then just
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: slowly over time bring just a few things back out
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: that you really need, and then some of that stuff
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: you're never going to want to bring out, that's the
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: stuff you should.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I think what you can do is you can put
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: it all in a spare bedroom and then just periodically
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: go sit in that room. Oh, here's all that stuff.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: But it's a good exercise because really, when you're sitting
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: in a room that doesn't have anything in it other
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: than it precisely what you need to be in there,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: there's a calmness.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: But there's a there. There is something to be said
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: for charming clutter, you know what I mean? Like, yeah,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: like you'll see in movies or in pictures and books,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: you know, like somebody's study and it's books stacked around everywhere,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: you know, and uh, and there are papers on the
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: desk and it looks lived in and uh, it's it's
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: a place for where anything. You can grab anything, you know,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: a book. Anything's possible, any thought is possible.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I guess I can. I mean, you know what I mean.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of like a little clutter.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: I pulled so when I was reading about house hushing
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: over the weekend.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I started with the reading room bill.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Which you referenced earlier, and I I pulled all every
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: book off the bookshelf and dusted it and uh and
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: I got rid of about twenty books, some taking him
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: and donating them.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: It felt good.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Now I just want to be in that room. I
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: don't want to be in any other room.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: You're you're one of those people that that went like
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: your husband comes home from work and and he goes, hey, hey,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: where was that? Where where's that that?
• 8:34

• 8:56
  Speaker 1: said what you what? You got rid of that? That
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I wanted that?
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: No, because he's he's all for the uncluttering.

• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I've gotten rid of my kids stuff before. Oh, probably
• 9:07

• 9:13
  Speaker 2: get rid of too much.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: You're the It's that's the reason I've never let you
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: inside my house.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: I'll take.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: You would just.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Start to bring a garbage bag and I'll walk around.

  Speaker 2: Death cleaning, death cleaning, is a whole clean. It's very similar.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: It's similar if you have ever had to go through
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: a family member's stuff after they die, and you think,
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: why didn't they get rid of some of this stuff when.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: They were alive? Do that? Do that now so your
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: family doesn't have to go.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Through Now you're not advocating killing that family member.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Oh no, okay, go through your crap now so your
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: family doesn't have to do it, and they'll hate you
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: later because they have to do it.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know. That family member just sits in the
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: reading room. Maybe I get rid of you. Maybe maybe
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the energy will come back if I get rid. So
