- 1:04Speaker 1: And here's what the scientists have said.
- 1:08Speaker 3: First of all, this is these are the.
- 1:10Speaker 1: Elements that go into making a great day. You work
- 1:13Speaker 1: in some quality time with your family, and they said
- 1:16Speaker 1: family should be top of the list in how to
- 1:19Speaker 1: use your time wisely. You can socialize with friends, they said,
- 1:24Speaker 1: keep it short and sweet, but it'll boost your mood
- 1:27Speaker 1: for one or two hours after you've had some type
- 1:30Speaker 1: of social activity.
- 1:31Speaker 2: Like you and I do every morning.
- 1:33Speaker 3: Yeah, we've got each other.
- 1:34Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:34Speaker 1: And Kristen, you can stay active, which means you have
- 1:38Speaker 1: to get off the couch. And they said, don't worry.
- 1:40Speaker 1: You don't like, you know, have to run a marathon,
- 1:43Speaker 1: but just like a little go for the walk, a hike,
- 1:45Speaker 1: a bike, ride, a swim. Just get the body moving,
- 1:48Speaker 1: step away from the screens.
- 1:50Speaker 3: I know we're to all this all the time. They're
- 1:52Speaker 3: so addictive.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Why, by the way, do you get that alert every
- 1:55Speaker 2: Sunday about how much screen.
- 1:56Speaker 1: Time you had? It sums it up for me. And
- 1:59Speaker 1: I don't even want to know I'm a denier.
- 2:01Speaker 2: I just have to say I'm very proud of myself.
- 2:03Speaker 3: Oh did you go down rather than up?
- 2:06Speaker 2: Yes, here we go. I took a screenshot of it.
- 2:09Speaker 2: This came out nine am yesterday. It said, last week,
- 2:12Speaker 2: you averaged four hours and forty six minutes of screen
- 2:15Speaker 2: time per day. So that's a lot. Don't get me wrong,
- 2:18Speaker 2: But I used I used to be over five.
- 2:20Speaker 3: Yeahs to six. Yeah.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Danielle DeLillo who works with us, Yes, she's near nine
- 2:25Speaker 2: hours a day.
- 2:26Speaker 3: Wow.
- 2:26Speaker 2: Okay, but she emails a lot and stuff like that.
- 2:28Speaker 3: Well, she does a lot of work on her phone.
- 2:30Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I was very impressed. Four hours and forty
- 2:33Speaker 2: six minutes. Yeah, that's a lot.
- 2:35Speaker 1: But lower sure, I'm not, I'm for sure. So okay,
- 2:40Speaker 1: we step away from our screens. There's even time for
- 2:44Speaker 1: work as long as you're not commuting. Working doesn't ruin
- 2:47Speaker 1: the chance of a great day. People go work for
- 2:50Speaker 1: up to six hours without keeping it from more than that.
- 2:55Speaker 1: They still feel like they're having a great day. So
- 2:57Speaker 1: if you're not like losing a lot of time and commuting,
- 3:00Speaker 1: supposedly that helps you a lot. I don't know how
- 3:02Speaker 1: you control that. You can go out to eat, spending
- 3:05Speaker 1: more time eating out and drinking, or traveling to eat
- 3:07Speaker 1: and drink also associated with a good day. Limit time
- 3:10Speaker 1: spent on chores, Okay, No, more than forty five minutes
- 3:14Speaker 1: a day on chores, and if you've got a significant other,
- 3:17Speaker 1: maybe you plan a double date. So spending time alone
- 3:21Speaker 1: with the spouse has basically no impact on whether the
- 3:24Speaker 1: day was rated. Is great, but spending time with the
- 3:27Speaker 1: spouse and other people did boost the odds of having
- 3:30Speaker 1: a happier day.
- 3:31Speaker 2: You know what, I'll take all the information you just
- 3:33Speaker 2: gave us, Yeah, and I'll make a pie chart. Yeah,
- 3:35Speaker 2: I'll put it up at LIGHTFM dot com.
- 3:37Speaker 3: Okay, and that is your day.
- 3:38Speaker 2: Right there, right.
- 3:39Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't mean you have to do this
- 3:40Speaker 1: every single day, but those are the elements that, yeah,
- 3:43Speaker 1: can really turn things around.
- 3:45Speaker 2: And this sounds cheesy, Christine, but I do say this
- 3:47Speaker 2: on my head a lot. If I'm driving in I'll
- 3:49Speaker 2: just say to myself, it's going to be a great day.
- 3:51Speaker 2: It's going to be a great day. It's going to
- 3:52Speaker 2: be a great day because you can kind of hone
- 3:55Speaker 2: that that power in.
- 3:57Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I think it's especially important.
- 4:00Speaker 1: And just when you're waking up, tell your brain, thats right,
- 4:03Speaker 1: It's gave me a great day.
