Hello and welcome to Happier, a podcast that gives you strategies for building happier

habits into your daily life.

This week we'll talk about why you should get rid of something as soon as it's useless

and how to handle it when everything turns to ashes.

I'm Gretchen Rubin, a writer whose study is happiness, good habits, and human nature.

I'm in New York City and with me is my sister Elizabeth Kraft, whose signature color

I recently discovered is Lily Pulitzer Green, something I learned about her through the

podcast.

That's me, Elizabeth Kraft, a TV writer and producer living in LA and Gretchen, I have

to tell you since saying my signature color is Lily Pulitzer Green, I realize I don't

have anything that color and I am feeling a lot of pressure to get something that color.

I'm just like, I need to get my signature color, I need to get my signature color.

So I'll be doing that.

But we've had so many responses already about this signature color that I want to let

everyone know we're going to do a deep dive in a few weeks where we just talk about everyone's

signature colors and really get into it because it's been fascinating.

And it's so interesting how they got to their signature color, how they manifest their

signature color, families have signature colors.

It's really been fascinating and I love learning and the photographs are so, here's my

kitchen back splash, here's my notebook.

Here are my toenails painted metallic green.

So yeah, it's been such a fun, fun, try this at home to get response to.
