If you ever need a pick me up, experts just released a list this morning of the four things you can do,

first thing when you get up, to be happier all day long.

Oh, I love this.

Oh, I need this.

What is it?

Would you be willing to try these for one week for us and then we'll do like an Instagram on it, like a before and after?

Make me happier, please.

Okay, we'll get that a shot. Look for it on our Instagram app, Brooke and Jeffrey. Let's get into the four things. All right. Number four, be thankful. Oh, that's so nice. I try to do that. People who journal about the things that they're thankful for throughout the week score much higher on measures of happiness than people who just complain about the things they're irritated by, kind of like we do for most of this show.

I guess the difference would be writing it down.

And with writing, it's kind of like exercise for your hands, too.

So tackling two things at one.

He's going to have the most tough fingers ever.

Number three, talk to somebody else. It can be anyone you like, a friend, a child that's not yours. It could be a meetup for coffee. But just having a social connection with someone that you normally don't talk to is important. How are you going to find that person in the morning, though? I don't know.

Wait by the daycare.

Whatever you got to do, find somebody new. Your therapist's personal number and then just spam text them. I see. This is number two on the list of four things you can do every morning to make yourself happy throughout the day. Two is talk to yourself. Oh, easy. If you have a big presentation at work or maybe Jose, you're doing like a voice character phone tap.

You're about to do it.

Save yourself out loud, Jose, you have done this before, you're gonna do great. Oh, they've done this before you're gonna do great. You don't have to do it in the character voice, but... I kinda like it in the character's voice. It feels like there's two people in the room. And the number one thing experts say to be happier is get all of the screens out of your room.

Oh, I've heard that.

When you reach for your phone or the TV remote first thing in the morning, you're letting the outside world immediately dictate your mood to start your day.

Who doesn't use their phone is their alarm clock? That's how I wake up. It's habit, man. It's starting opening social media so I rank and start reading and working. It's bringing you down. So make sure you put your phone down unless you're listening to us be a podcast right now because we make you happy. The scientists also put that in the servant, too. Right, of course.

It's signed Mr. Science.

He says that.
