• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Christine is going to tell us how you can turn

  Speaker 2: Oh, you turn that frown upside down. No, I'm not
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: going to be sickly sweet, I promise.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Because that'll make it worse.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: And I'm hoping we put people in a good mood
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: with our music and our just, you know, random conversations.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: But sometimes you just wake up grumpy.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you do. And mental health experts say it's okay.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: It happens. And they are not trying to like flip
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: it and make it completely positive.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: But they say they're just trying to like give you
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: a moment that might shift things.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: So there's little things you can do that might help
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: your bad mood. You wake up on the wrong side
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: of the bed. You literally make the bed. A quick
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: accomplishment first thing can create momentum for the rest of
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: the day.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: That's very true.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, you don't want to do it, but you like, well,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I always make my bed. Well, if I'm there, I'm usually,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: but I, Sometimes you just don't want to, but if
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: you can just do it, boom, it'll go a long way.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Yes. You cook a familiar meal. Repetitive tasks like chopping
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: and stirring can feel calming. A lot of people do
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: feel calm preparing food. It also feels like an accomplishment.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Like you said, eat consistently because you want to keep
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: your blood sugar steady so you don't get hangry.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Oh, I can do that. You know, I love eating consistently.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Me too.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: And sitting consistently. Sitting and eating consistently. I love it.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: We got to get up and move, Cubby. Just every
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: now and then we got to. Have a warm drink, coffee, tea,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: hot chocolate that can create a sense of comfort. It
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: actually helps your body relax. Like it's great for the
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: nervous system.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: A hotty toddy.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: And sit and eat.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: And sit and eat and don't move. Sitting and eating.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Rewatch a favorite show or movie. Anything familiar, predictable soothes
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: you because your brain already knows what's coming.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: You know, it's funny.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I had an hour to myself yesterday alone at the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: house and I was on my laptop doing some bill
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: paying and had different strokes on.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I knew we were going to end up with different strokes.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I knew we were going there.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: I felt joy.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: That's your show.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Play uplifting music.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Even just one upbeat song can shift your emotional state.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Eat consistently.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Smell something pleasant. Like vanilla or rosemary can give your
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: brain something positive to focus on. And finally, and this
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: is a little harsh for me, but okay, splash your
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: face with cold water. It activates the body's calming rest
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: and digest response.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: You know, one thing you, like you didn't mention that
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I thought would be on the list, because everything you
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: mentioned has to do within the house. Like it's all
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: in the house.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: True.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Sometimes if you're in a grumpy mood, and I've done
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: this before.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: You take a different way to work. I drive a
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: different way to work. Oh, okay. Just a subtle different way.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Not a drastic difference. Yeah. But your mind is looking
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: at different things.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Thinking of different things.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: That's why we love going to different cities and new places.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: The discovery is wonderful. I thought you were going to say,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: you know, go out and take a walk because usually
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: the experts will say that. They get into nature for
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: a few minutes. But again, you don't believe in moving.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: I eat consistently and sit consistently. If possible. Light FM.
