Speaker 1: We're good at oscillating between extremes. We go from I
Speaker 1: hate myself to I'm the best person in the world,
Speaker 1: and in this case, we go from I'm going to
Speaker 1: do a lot, I'm going to plan a lot, I'm
Speaker 1: going to be the most productive person in the world
Speaker 1: at peak performance, I'm the one, and then on the
Speaker 1: other side of the side, I want to do nothing
Speaker 1: this weekend and that creates somewhat of a difficult environment
Speaker 1: to live in. The Number one Health and Wellness podcast,
Speaker 1: Jay Sheety Ja Shetty Jet. Hey everyone, welcome back to
Speaker 1: On Purpose. I am so grateful to be back with

Speaker 1: favorite habits for my mental health that I think are powerful, practical,
Speaker 1: and accessible. I'm not going to go and ask you
Speaker 1: to learn a new skill. I'm not gonna go and
Speaker 1: ask you to learn how to do something new. These
Speaker 1: are things anyone can start today. And so if you're
Speaker 1: someone who's been struggling with anxiety and stress, this episode
Speaker 1: is for you. If you're someone who's been trying to
Speaker 1: do so many practices but they're not working for you,
Speaker 1: this episode is for you. And if you're someone who
Speaker 1: knows someone who's struggling, this episode is for you. It
Speaker 1: maybe a child, a partner, a friend, someone you love,
Speaker 1: a family member, a parent. Check out this episode. It's
Speaker 1: lots of great, simple insights in the small changes that
Speaker 1: will make a big difference. Now. Number one, every night,
Speaker 1: when you're about to go to bed, Before you go
Speaker 1: to bed, it's part of your wind down routine, is
Speaker 1: part of your evening routine. A lot of people have
Speaker 1: talked about the importance of having an evening routine. The
Speaker 1: reason is because we almost want our body to act
Speaker 1: like technology. Technology has an off button, we press off
Speaker 1: and it powers off, but we our off button is
Speaker 1: more like a power down where we need time to unwind,
Speaker 1: we need time to slow down. And because we've got
Speaker 1: so used to using technology, we want our bodies to
Speaker 1: react and respond like a laptop, like a phone, but
Speaker 1: it doesn't do that. So when your head it's the pillow,
Speaker 1: you're not falling asleep straight away. One part of a
Speaker 1: great evening routine that can be really powerful for your
Speaker 1: mental health. And you can do this in a journal.
Speaker 1: You can do this as a voice note. You can
Speaker 1: do it out loud with your partner or a roommate
Speaker 1: or whoever it may be. You can do it over
Speaker 1: the phone with someone you're close to. But there's one
Speaker 1: question that you want to answer every evening. What did
Speaker 1: I accomplish today? What did you accomplish today? Is the
Speaker 1: single most important question to ask yourself for your mind
Speaker 1: in the evening before you go to bed. Now, why
Speaker 1: is it It sounds obvious, It's like, oh, yeah, I
Speaker 1: feel accomplished, I feel good about myself, there's a lot
Speaker 1: more to it. The whole day or in the evening,
Speaker 1: you are very likely to subconsciously say to yourself, I
Speaker 1: can't believe I didn't get that done. Gosh, there's so
Speaker 1: much left to get done. Oh and I didn't even
Speaker 1: get to that thing. Oh and I've still got all
Speaker 1: those emails to reply to. We're so used to noting
Speaker 1: down all the things that we haven't done, all the
Speaker 1: things that we didn't achieve, all the things that didn't
Speaker 1: work out, that we easily simply forget the progress that
Speaker 1: has been made. So it's not neutral. I think we
Speaker 1: think we live in a neutral world where we're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't want to pump myself up, like I'm fine,
Speaker 1: But actually what we're usually doing is putting ourselves down. Right,
Speaker 1: So I'm not telling you to pump yourself up. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying to sit there and say I'm the best,
Speaker 1: I'm amazing, I did this. It's actually saying what did
Speaker 1: I accomplish today? Because chances are your mind's already coming
Speaker 1: up the list or you didn't accomplish, and you might say,
Speaker 1: all right, I got in a twenty minute workout. I
Speaker 1: accomplished that today, whereas usually you'd say I only got
Speaker 1: a twenty minute workout. Notice how we do that right?
Speaker 1: Even so, it's an accomplishment to get in the gym
Speaker 1: to get that workout in. Maybe you got six thousand
Speaker 1: steps and you say to yourself, I only got six
Speaker 1: thousand steps instead of I accomplished six thousand steps, Let's
Speaker 1: go for seven thousand tomorrow. Which one do you think
Speaker 1: programs you to push a little bit more tomorrow when
Speaker 1: you're feeling encouraged or when you're feeling put down. Now,
Speaker 1: chances are when you're feeling put down, you'll sort it
Speaker 1: out for the next couple of days. But it's not sustainable.
Speaker 1: It's not sustainable to constantly speak to yourself negatively and
Speaker 1: expect a positive result. Let me repeat that again. You
Speaker 1: can't speak to yourself negatively and expect a positive result.
Speaker 1: You can't speak to yourself in a way that puts
Speaker 1: you down to hope that it pulls you up. You
Speaker 1: can't speak to yourself in a way that is condescending
Speaker 1: and hope that it's going to make you feel connected
Speaker 1: to yourself. When we talk bad to ourselves day after
Speaker 1: day after day, it's impossible for it to lead to
Speaker 1: something good. And so when you ask yourself the simple
Speaker 1: question at the end of every day, what did I
Speaker 1: accomplish today? Make a list of three things. I got
Speaker 1: the laundry done, I did some meal prep. I cooked
Speaker 1: a great meal. I finished off all my email inbox,
Speaker 1: even though I still know my text is still left.
Speaker 1: What did you accomplish? What you're doing is rewiring, reprogramming
Speaker 1: your mind to also not forget the truth. Right, if
Speaker 1: your friend said to you, Hey, I only got this
Speaker 1: done today, you'd be like, that's amazing. You got six
Speaker 1: thousand steps. Good for you. You made it through the
Speaker 1: gym for twenty minutes. That's amazing. Right. Your reaction would
Speaker 1: be so different. And I encourage you to do this
Speaker 1: with the people you love too. This is something that
Speaker 1: Raddy did for me when I began my health journey
Speaker 1: when we were together, especially my physical health. And she
Speaker 1: was always someone who was committed to going to the gym,
Speaker 1: committed to her health and well being, and I was
Speaker 1: someone who was focused on the mind. And I remember
Speaker 1: in the beginning, I would still have my sugar addiction.
Speaker 1: I would still be very much like, oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: didn't get that done. I didn't get this done, she'd
Speaker 1: always be like, well, that's amazing, that's great that you
Speaker 1: made it. That's awesome. Right. And at the same time education,
Speaker 1: I think we mistake being hard on ourselves as a
Speaker 1: replacement for education. I'll explain what I mean by that.
Speaker 1: Fact can hit harder than you being harder on yourself.
Speaker 1: Let me say that again, educating yourself in the facts
Speaker 1: of something can hit you harder than being hard on yourself.
Speaker 1: What I mean by that is, if someone walks you
Speaker 1: through the challenging aspects of not working out, if someone
Speaker 1: walks you through the fact your repercussions of what you're
Speaker 1: consuming mentally or physically, that fact is more likely to
Speaker 1: push you into growth than you being mean to yourself
Speaker 1: with no facts. And so I think it's so important
Speaker 1: that we recognize how we're motivated. Now. All of us
Speaker 1: are different. Some of us may actually like the hard
Speaker 1: talk and we may need it, and that's fine too,
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean we shouldn't go to sleep focusing
Speaker 1: on what we've accomplished today and recognizing that it is progress. Okay.
Speaker 1: Number two. This one is also slightly counterintuitive, but I
Speaker 1: recommend that if you're struggling with your mental health. This month,
Speaker 1: plan something for yourself and someone else. Build something. Plan
Speaker 1: a trip, an event, a charity event, a mental health
Speaker 1: awareness event, whatever it may be. Do something, plan something,
Speaker 1: build towards something, Create an opportunity for your mind to
Speaker 1: be active in working towards something. Hey everyone, it's Jay here.
Speaker 1: My wife and I have had so much fun create
Speaker 1: our own sparkling tea Juni, and I've got big news
Speaker 1: for you. It's at Target and we'd love your support.
Speaker 1: If you can go out grab a Juny, You'll be
Speaker 1: adding adaptagens and new tropics into your life with mood
Speaker 1: boosting properties aimed at promoting a balanced and happy mind.
Speaker 1: Through our commitment to our wellness journey and striving to
Speaker 1: fuel our bodies with the healthiest ingredients, It's been our
Speaker 1: purpose to make healthy choices accessible for all, which is
Speaker 1: why Juni is now on shelves at Target. So head
Speaker 1: to our store locator at Drinkjuny dot com and find
Speaker 1: Juny at a Target near you. I think a lot
Speaker 1: of us believe right now that comfort and not doing
Speaker 1: anything helps us, and I think that can be true
Speaker 1: because we're overworked, we're overwhelmed, we're burnt out, and as humans,
Speaker 1: we're good at oscillating between extremes. Right, We basically go
Speaker 1: between extremes constantly. We go from I hate myself to
Speaker 1: I'm the best person in the world. And in this case,
Speaker 1: we go from I'm going to do a lot, I'm
Speaker 1: going to plan a lot, I'm going to be the
Speaker 1: most productive person in the world at peak performance, I'm
Speaker 1: the one. And then on the other side of it'side
Speaker 1: I want to do nothing this weekend, right, And we
Speaker 1: oscillate between these extremes, and that creates somewhat of a
Speaker 1: difficult environment to live in. Now, balance is not necessarily
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, but what I am proposing is that
Speaker 1: you're always working on something, and you're not working on
Speaker 1: it so much that it drains you. You may put
Speaker 1: it aside when you're working very hard at work, and
Speaker 1: it's almost like when work's really tough, this may take
Speaker 1: a back burner because you're already focusing that part of
Speaker 1: your brain. You're already focusing that part of your energy.
Speaker 1: But maybe when works a little slower or medium paced,
Speaker 1: you're adding this in to give your mind that focus point,
Speaker 1: to give it that activity, to give it that progress marker.
Speaker 1: So the reason why I'm planning something is so powerful
Speaker 1: is because it makes you feel like you're moving. And
Speaker 1: as humans, we need to feel like we're constantly moving
Speaker 1: in a direction towards something. Whether we're ambitious or not,
Speaker 1: we all need to feel like we're growing. We all
Speaker 1: need to feel like we are progressing in a direction.
Speaker 1: And when we choose to plan something, it creates a
Speaker 1: lot of that forward motion that's pulling us forward. Rather
Speaker 1: than you pushing yourself, You've now got something in the
Speaker 1: future pulling you. And I find that that can be
Speaker 1: a really powerful thing. Of course, you have to pick
Speaker 1: something that really is important to you. Don't pick to
Speaker 1: plan anything. But picking to plan something, what happens. You
Speaker 1: get to meet people around it, You get to go
Speaker 1: to new places because of it. You are taking on
Speaker 1: a new project, and that's where life starts to get
Speaker 1: more connected naturally. Right. A big part of why we're
Speaker 1: struggling with mental health today is loneliness. We're feeling disconnected
Speaker 1: from people. And I found that when you build something
Speaker 1: with someone, when you do something with someone, it's so
Speaker 1: much more magical what you develop as a friendship. I
Speaker 1: think it's not explored enough today. But when you do
Speaker 1: something with someone that is active, proactive, building, planning, creating,
Speaker 1: the memories you build and the bond you build is
Speaker 1: far more than going to a number of parties with someone.
Speaker 1: It's just not the same thing. You could go to
Speaker 1: dinner with someone and it's not the same level as
Speaker 1: if you help them move home. Right. You could go
Speaker 1: to dinner with someone and it's not the same as
Speaker 1: if you help them change a tire on their car.
Speaker 1: You could go to dinner with someone and it's not
Speaker 1: the same as if you put on an event for
Speaker 1: your community or organized your family's birthday or a getaway
Speaker 1: trip together. Right, it's just not the same thing. And
Speaker 1: I think for a lot of us, we're trying to
Speaker 1: find connection across a table on a couch. And I'm
Speaker 1: not saying those things are wrong. I'm not saying they're bad,
Speaker 1: and we need those things. But I found that the deepest,
Speaker 1: most powerful relationships I have are ones where we did
Speaker 1: things together. And I would encourage you all to find
Speaker 1: a friend. Choose someone or you'll find a friend through
Speaker 1: the process of planning something, and that what you plan
Speaker 1: can be small. I'm not saying it has to be
Speaker 1: thousands of people. It can be a small thing at
Speaker 1: your child's school, it can be a small thing for
Speaker 1: your family at home. But planning something, working towards something,
Speaker 1: making yourself feel excited about something, because so much of
Speaker 1: the time we're struggling because we've lost that zest, we've
Speaker 1: lost that thrill, we've lost that excitement, and it's important
Speaker 1: that we bring it back. Number three, get better at
Speaker 1: the things you're good at. A lot of the time,
Speaker 1: when we're struggling with low confidence, it's because we actually
Speaker 1: are experiencing low competence, right. It's competence that builds confidence.
Speaker 1: It's competence that builds greater self esteem. Confidence by the
Speaker 1: Dictionary definition, which I love, and by the way, when
Speaker 1: I pull out a definition, it's because I feel we
Speaker 1: are so unaware of it. The Dictionary definition of confidence,
Speaker 1: one of them is a feeling of self assurance, arising
Speaker 1: from one's appreciation of one's abilities and qualities. So when
Speaker 1: you get better at the things you're good at, it's
Speaker 1: more prominent to you and you're more able to give
Speaker 1: yourself that self assurance. When we're good at something, we
Speaker 1: often say, nah, I'm okay at that. But when you're
Speaker 1: bad at something, you're like, oh, I'm the worst, right? No,
Speaker 1: is that negativity bias creeping in. If you're good at something,
Speaker 1: you're like, I'm okay. If you're bad at something, you're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm the worst. I'm the worst there possibly ever was, right,
Speaker 1: And we over hype it so hard. So getting better
Speaker 1: at the things you're good at gives you a sense
Speaker 1: of competence and confidence that won't come from anything else.
Speaker 1: And I think often we feel like, oh, if I
Speaker 1: got that job, I would feel better. If I was
Speaker 1: with that person, I would feel better. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of things we say to ourselves, if this, then that, right,
Speaker 1: But what about this idea that actually, when I get better,
Speaker 1: when I develop better skills, when I strengthen these muscles,
Speaker 1: when I strengthen these focus points, now I actually feel
Speaker 1: better about myself. Right, Instead of waiting for something external
Speaker 1: to happen to make us feel better, we're taking that
Speaker 1: into our own hands. We're taking accountability, we're taking responsibility.
Speaker 1: We're feeling a sense of my behavior matters, my action matters.
Speaker 1: We feel a sense of autonomy, we feel a sense
Speaker 1: of ownership, and that's such a powerful thing that we
Speaker 1: can help develop. So if you're good at something, or
Speaker 1: someone said you're good at something, go take a course
Speaker 1: on it, go to an online program on it, buy
Speaker 1: a book about it, and study it all weekend. Go
Speaker 1: to an evening class. Whatever it is like, get stuck in.
Speaker 1: It could be something like pottery. It could be an
Speaker 1: art class. Maybe you were great at doing comic book
Speaker 1: sketches when you were young. It could be a cake
Speaker 1: baking class. Right, whatever it is, something you enjoy again,
Speaker 1: You'll naturally meet people again, You'll naturally be learning, you'll
Speaker 1: naturally be growing. What happens is you're making all of
Speaker 1: the areas of your life that you're struggling with easier
Speaker 1: to do. Now. This point number five is actually something
Speaker 1: that I came across last Christmas, and so Radi and
Speaker 1: I we always go back to London and we try
Speaker 1: and spend a lot of quality time with our family
Speaker 1: because of course we live in another country and we
Speaker 1: don't get to see them as much. And so we
Speaker 1: had taken a little trip to the countryside with our family.
Speaker 1: And my niece and nephew are eight and four, and
Speaker 1: they're adorable and wonderful, and my sister in law had
Speaker 1: brought them these coloring books. But when you then finish
Speaker 1: coloring and you struck the pieces together, it was an
Speaker 1: ornament for the Christmas tree. Now I joined in with
Speaker 1: the activity, I think I think the whole family did, actually,
Speaker 1: because we thought we'd had quite a busy run and
Speaker 1: this was quite a calming exercise. And then I started
Speaker 1: looking into some of the research behind it, and I
Speaker 1: was reading something from Dan Brennan, MD, and he was
Speaker 1: talking about how actually coloring books are not just for kids.
Speaker 1: They can be used by adults, and coloring relaxes your
Speaker 1: brain and improves brain function. He says, when you're coloring,
Speaker 1: you're focused on the simple activity in front of you.
Speaker 1: This begins to relax your mind and keep your thoughts
Speaker 1: from intruding. Now I found that, especially when I was
Speaker 1: coloring in between the lines, when I was trying to
Speaker 1: do something quite intricate, it was really present work. And
Speaker 1: he goes on to talk about how it induces a
Speaker 1: meditative state. He mentions that adult coloring doesn't replace art therapy,
Speaker 1: but it can be therapeutic for some people. Some studies
Speaker 1: have shown that focusing on the complex structure of your
Speaker 1: coloring page can help put your mind into a meditative state.
Speaker 1: So for those of you that struggle to meditate or
Speaker 1: struggle to like you know how to meditate, this is
Speaker 1: a great way of just taking a moment to be
Speaker 1: more present. He also goes on to say how it
Speaker 1: improves sleep. Right if you color before bed, Dan Brannan says,
Speaker 1: you're likely to sleep better than if you scrolled on
Speaker 1: your phone expose you to blue light from your phone
Speaker 1: or tablet. Of course we know that can hinder our
Speaker 1: quality of sleep, but he says by coloring in a
Speaker 1: book before bed instead, you're keeping electronics out of the bedroom,
Speaker 1: allowing your melotonin level to release naturally as your body
Speaker 1: gets ready for sleep. So there's so many benefits to
Speaker 1: a simple activity of coloring. Now. I know, as adults
Speaker 1: were thinking like what am I going to color? And
Speaker 1: I found that when it becomes something practical, like we
Speaker 1: were making an ornament for the tree, or maybe you're
Speaker 1: creating a birthday card for someone and you might be thinking,
Speaker 1: no one wants a birthday guard painted by me. Or
Speaker 1: maybe it is something that you're doing with your kids,
Speaker 1: or maybe it is something that you're doing with your
Speaker 1: niece and your nephew. I remember it being a really
Speaker 1: wonderful activity. We could all show each other what we did,
Speaker 1: and everyone chose different ornaments and maybe I did a
Speaker 1: snowman and you know, they painted something else and it
Speaker 1: was just a really it's a really special memory that
Speaker 1: I'm still holding on to as well. And I know
Speaker 1: it sounds simple, but I think it's going to resonate
Speaker 1: with some of you, and so I hope you give
Speaker 1: that a go. This one is something you may have heard,
Speaker 1: but I'm hoping that some of the research behind it
Speaker 1: will change how you feel about it. I was reading
Speaker 1: a research study that said that since the turn of
Speaker 1: the millennium, cases of vitamin D deficiency have risen by
Speaker 1: four hundred and ninety percent. That's incredible. Now, there's lots
Speaker 1: of reasons for that, and here are some of them.
Speaker 1: The average time outdoors has fallen fourteen percent between nineteen
Speaker 1: seventies and twenty tens. Sixteen to thirty year olds have
Speaker 1: seen the biggest drop in outdoor time twenty percent when
Speaker 1: compared to their age bracket in the nineteen seventies. And
Speaker 1: of course, the average person watches TV or listens to
Speaker 1: the radio for one hundred and forty seven minutes per day,
Speaker 1: an increase of thirty seven minutes from time spent in
Speaker 1: the nineteen seventies. Now that doesn't surprise me. But it's interesting,
Speaker 1: isn't it. What can we do to be active while
Speaker 1: we watch that show? Can we be active at home?
Speaker 1: Can we be active outdoors while we listen to something?
Speaker 1: What can we do? I know so many of you.
Speaker 1: I love, love, love watching all of you out on
Speaker 1: a walk with your dog. You're cooking while you're listening.
Speaker 1: Some of you are driving while you're listening. And I
Speaker 1: think if I could encourage you all to just get outdoors.
Speaker 1: The National Recreation and Park Association says that whether it's
Speaker 1: sitting on a park bench or walking local trails, spending
Speaker 1: twenty to thirty minutes outside reduces stress levels. It's just
Speaker 1: that twenty minutes outdoors will make a big, big, big difference.
Speaker 1: And I will just want you to test it out
Speaker 1: for seven days. What I want you to do is
Speaker 1: I want you to choose one of these pieces of insights,
Speaker 1: and I want you to test them over the next
Speaker 1: seven days. Or I just want you to test them
Speaker 1: for the next seven days and see how your life changes.
Speaker 1: See what switches up, see what progress or movement you
Speaker 1: feel in your life. And this one's a big one
Speaker 1: for me. I'm throwing it in there because I learned
Speaker 1: a lot about this from the Glucose Goddess Jesse and
Speaker 1: Chope on the podcast. If you haven't heard that episode,
Speaker 1: it's amazing. But there's something to be said for the
Speaker 1: connection between sugar and our mood, and she speaks about
Speaker 1: it with so much great research and insight. But some
Speaker 1: of the reasons I came across talked about how One
Speaker 1: study published in twenty seventeen found that consuming a diet
Speaker 1: high in sugar can increase the chances of incident mood
Speaker 1: disorders in men and recurrent mood disorders in both men
Speaker 1: and women. And a more recent study in twenty nineteen
Speaker 1: found that regular consumption of saturated fats and added sugars
Speaker 1: were related to higher feelings of anxiety in adults over
Speaker 1: sixty And not only that those study goes on to say,
Speaker 1: is that it can weaken your ability to deal with stress.
Speaker 1: The study goes on to say that sugary foods can
Speaker 1: actually in the body's ability to respond to stress. Sugar
Speaker 1: can help you feel less frazzled by suppressing the hypothalamic
Speaker 1: picititory adrenal HPA axis in your brain, which controls your
Speaker 1: response to stress. Researchers at the University of California Davis
Speaker 1: found that sugar inhibited stress induced cortisol secretion in healthy
Speaker 1: female participants, minimizing feelings of anxiety and tension. Cortizol is
Speaker 1: known as the stress hormone, right, So it's interesting to
Speaker 1: me that if you can monitor your sugar intake, as
Speaker 1: I said, turned to that expert episode with Jesse and Shape,
Speaker 1: and we start to recognize these connections between mind and body,
Speaker 1: there can be a lot we can do for our
Speaker 1: mental health based on what we eat and what we consume.
Speaker 1: I am sending you lots of love. I hope that
Speaker 1: you shared this episode with a friend. I hope that
Speaker 1: it's informative to give you some easy, simple ideas that
Speaker 1: can make a big difference in your life. And remember this,
Speaker 1: I am forever in your corner and I'm always rooting
Speaker 1: for you, and I appreciate you deeply. Thanks for tuning in.
Speaker 1: If you love this episode, you'll enjoy my interview with
Speaker 1: doctor Daniel Ahman on how to change your life by
Speaker 1: changing your brain.
Speaker 2: If we want a healthy mind, it actually starts with
Speaker 2: a healthy brain. You know I've had the blessing or
Speaker 2: the curse to scam. Over one thousand convicted felons and
Speaker 2: over one hundred murderers and their brands are very damaged.
