• 0:37
  Speaker 1: success here in this new year.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: I'm ready. Tell me what to do, Eleena, do it.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Okay. So this is a list of items that aren't
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: really resolutions, but just little things that we can do
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: to kind of make our lives a little bit better.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: The first recommendation is to clean up one small area
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: of the house. So just choose on corner that's been
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: collecting clutter and driving you a little bit crazy, and
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: spend some time and clean that up.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, I could do that, don't yeah, Because if
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: you think, oh, I'm going to tackle the whole house,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: that a lot. To start with a small area.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Just one little area, clean it up and be done
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: with it.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I'm going to declutter it. Yes, okay, what next?
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: The next recommendation is to create a reading list for
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: the year that brings you joy. So instead of only
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: choosing self help or scientific things, whatever it might be,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: try and also choose some fun, uplifting, exciting reads.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: I usually have two or three books on my nightstand,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: and one of them is like a self healthy kind
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: of thing, and one of them is just like a
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: piece of candy. Like it's just yes, it does it
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: require a lot of me? And which one do you
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: read the most of it depends on how my day
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: was before.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: That's absolutely perfect. Yeah. I have at least two books
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: going at any given moment, and very similar where I'm like, ugh,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I need to tune out. I read the piece of candy.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what else do we have here?
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Next is to decide a new skill you want to
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: learn this year and make a plan to do it.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: So find your local painting class, the neighborhood piano teacher,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: whatever that skill is, find find the person who teaches it,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: and get on their calendar.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Anybody know anybody who teaches how to play highlight? I
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: want to learn how to play high might be a
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: little hard, all right. What's next?
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Next is to plan at date night or friends outing
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: for each month so that you always have something to
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: look forward to.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: And sometimes we're so busy you have to plan it
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: once out.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: No exactly, Yeah, it's it's really hard, I think to
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: get on our own friend's calendar sometimes. And so in
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: five months we're going to have dinner and that that
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: might be the thing that finally works.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Next next is to start a gratitude journal or a
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: win jar. And this is just to start some sort
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: of method to track the things that are going well
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: in each day. So either writing it down and putting
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: it in a jar so you can pull it out
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: and reflect on it later, or a journal or whatever
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: works best for you, just having someplace to record all
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: of the really good stuff that's happening in your life again,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: so you can look back, reflect and kind of boost
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: your mood on those on those tougher days.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: So would it just be slips of paper that you
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: would put in a jar? Is that what you're yeah? Oh,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I see, okay, yeah exactly all right. Make sure the
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: pickles are gone before you put its bill, all right,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: and what else do we have here? Let's see. I
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: guess that's that's the list. That's pretty simple.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: That is the list. Yeah, there's obviously so much that
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: you can do that are just small daily acts. These
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: are just the ones that I came up with for
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: us today.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, that's excellent. I'm gonna I'm gonna keep
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: this list to hand because these are all certainly very
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: attainable things to do.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, I love that.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: All right. Now, if people want to find out more
