  Speaker 1: All right, it is time or a wellness check? Does
• 0:04
  that mean? Elena Wood is on the line with us
• 0:06
  from Nightingale College. She is hi, Lena, Hello, Hello, How
• 0:12
  are you? I'm fine? Are you home or are you
• 0:13
  at Nightingale College?
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: I am actually at home. I get to work from
• 0:18
  home pretty much all the time, which is very nice.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So today, I like, we're going to talk about
• 0:25
  how to have a great day.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Well, we're talking morning routines, and our morning routines are odd?
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Are you? I'm guessing most of these things are. Oh
• 0:36
  maybe we can do I don't know if I can
• 0:38
  do any of them. Like, how can I get a
• 0:40
  good night's sleep? I don't have any ideas what is
• 0:44
  a good night's sleep? Elena? What constitutes a good night's sleep?
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: So the ideal for most adults is somewhere between seven
• 0:53
  to nine hours of rest, full sleep.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I'm screened.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: You know, we've talked. We talked a little bit about
• 1:01
  getting your nighttime routine down, about doing your wind down
• 1:06
  type of ceremonies, things like that before going to bed.
• 1:11
  So those are some of the things that can kind
• 1:13
  of help. And you know, a good night's sleep can
• 1:16
  lead to a good morning.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, I know. I mean I used to know that
• 1:22
  a long time ago. Get rid of your phone too,
• 1:25
  I would think.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely so, doing our best to leave the phone
• 1:31
  alone for the first several minutes, maybe even the first
• 1:35
  hour of wakefulness during the day, So not hopping right
• 1:39
  in and checking the emails, looking at work, doom scrolling,
• 1:43
  things like that. You know, the phone is such a
• 1:46
  great tool, but ultimately it does cause a lot of
• 1:49
  stress in our life. So if we can avoid some
• 1:52
  of that stress first thing in the morning, then our
• 1:55
  day's gonna run a lot smoother. The doom scroll is
• 1:57
  what wakes me up, That's what gets me going in
• 2:00
  the morning. Get that blood pumping real fast, I got.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, turn on your radio to X ninety six of
• 2:06
  the morning instead of reaching for your poe.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: That's it. Uh yes.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: And then it says wake up, wake up with water. Yes,
• 2:14
  I think that's great idea.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Absolutely so, having some water to drink first thing in
• 2:20
  the morning can help to immediately improve your mood. It
• 2:25
  helps to prevent brain fob during the day, and it
• 2:28
  keeps your body energized. So if you're able just drinking
• 2:32
  a glass of water for thing in the morning and
• 2:34
  then continuing to thick water throughout the day.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Gina, do you drink water?
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: There is water in ditknew it. The first is the
• 2:44
  first ingredients, right, yes?
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Now the next one. Eat a healthy breakfast like this morning,
• 2:52
  I started off with a big bowl of beans and
• 2:54
  a slab of bacon.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Is that so you got some protein? That's really good. Yes.
• 3:02
  So starting the day off with some healthy food and
• 3:05
  even maybe some party food, depending on what your day holds,
• 3:10
  could be a really good way to keep you energized
• 3:13
  and going throughout the day. My best recommendation is to
• 3:16
  include protein and some form of fruits or vegetables.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, grape I like grapefruit, and I don't
• 3:24
  eat it very often at all, but I should. I
• 3:27
  should eat more grapefruit. Grapefruit.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: That is a good one. I love that.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Let's see. Now after breakfast, do something good for yourself?
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Well reeah, I mean so this can be just about
• 3:42
  anything and taking a few moments to meditate or read,
• 3:48
  maybe going on a short walk or stretching your body
• 3:51
  out in the morning, maybe practicing a few positive affirmations,
• 3:58
  just spending one or two minutes prioritizing yourself, your mental health,
• 4:04
  your your overall well being. It's a really good way
• 4:07
  to start the day off on a good foot.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Stare into the mirror and what was the Stuart Smalley's affirmation,
• 4:13
  carry good enough, I'm smart enough and dogg on it
• 4:17
  people like and you know, good enough, I'm smart enough
• 4:22
  people like me do that. So that's uh. And then
• 4:27
  probably oh to do list is a really good idea.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely so. Having just some organization around kind of
• 4:35
  what you're going to be doing during the day. Maybe
• 4:38
  you have specific work tasks that you need to get done,
• 4:42
  or you know, knowing when kids need to be dropped
• 4:45
  off or picked up can be really helpful. And just
• 4:48
  knowing kind of what your main priorities are through the day.
• 4:52
  Having that documented somehow, it's a really good way let
• 4:56
  your brain kind of let go of the worry of
• 4:58
  it if you've got it written down, as well as
• 5:02
  it helps you stay on track so that you're more
• 5:04
  successful throughout that day.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes you. It makes you kind of accountable too,
• 5:09
  absolutely yes. All right, well those are those are I'm
• 5:13
  going to I'm gonna keep a copy of this and
• 5:15
  try and do more of them.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Good. I love that. We'll have to check in with
• 5:19
  you in the new year.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, don't do that.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: A positive you're gonna You're gonna.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Stick to some of this. I'm good enough, I'm smart enough,
• 5:30
  and gosh darn it, people like me. All right, Uh, Elena,
