    Change Your Day By Saying 'Tell Me Something Good'

    Want an instant pick me up? The simple phrase "tell me something good" can dramatically change your day. What happens when someone tells you something great doing on in their life? Unless you're the jealous type, it probably makes you feel good too. You get a little hit of dopamine just by hearing another person's excitement. But why is that? The answer is something scientists call emotional contagion. It's the idea that moods spread, for better or worse. Contagions typically aren't good. But, in this case, catching someone else's joy can actually lift your mood. If you've ever been dragged down by a "Debbie Downer," you know how powerful negative energy can be. The flip side is true too: get around someone who's celebrating, grateful, or just genuinely happy, and you'll likely feel lighter yourself. It's a concept called freudenfreude and you can read more about it at this article I reference in the episode. That's the power of asking the simple phrase: "Tell me something good." On this Dying to Ask: Why sharing good news is so powerful Three ways it impacts your connection with others And what happened when I asked some of my KCRA colleagues at the station to tell me something good

    Eat This, Not That to improve your mood with Dr Candice Seti

    You are what you eat. And if you're stressed or depressed, you might be able to blame your lunch. Dr. Candice Seti is the author of Shatter the Yoyo. She's a food psychologist. She studies the brain-body food link. "It's the idea of nutritional psychiatry and the idea of connecting how food makes us feel. And there are certain foods that make us feel better than others," says Dr. Seti. Omega 3 rich foods like salmon are great for brain health. Fruits, veggies and seeds? All good. But other foods can be a torpedo to your mental health. No surprise, it's anything sugary or processed. Dr. Seti says, "People don't always make the connection that when your brain is healthy your body tends to be healthy, and when you're lacking these things we're more likely to be depressed." Understanding the why might be exactly what you need to make better choices. And shifting your behavior can really help in stressful times. On this Dying to Ask: Foods to boost your mood Foods most likely to bum you out or increase anxiety How your food choices impact your mental health Ways to make the mind-body connection between what you eat and how you feel And a deep dive into the field of food psychology

    Mastering Movement Bites With Jessica Schatz

    Need a pick-me-up? Skip the coffee and try a movement bite. Jessica Schatz is a celebrity trainer and biomechanics and ProACTIVE Aging expert. She's trained professional athletes, Broadway stars and Hollywood actors for decades. Those athletes and performers need to maintain energy to perform. Jessica says the key to maintaining energy and aging well isn't destroying yourself in a two-hour gym workout. It's a lot easier than that. It's incorporating five-minute exercise breaks frequently into your day. Even 30 seconds of jumping jacks, pushups or squats can go a long way. Jessica calls them movement bites. "They increase your blood flow. They increase your heart rate. And they start to release these proteins, these Myokines, and they also release a protein called BDNF, Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor. It's like fertilizer for your brain," Schatz said. It's good news for anyone not crazy about chasing the elusive runner's high. Creating a positive neurfeedback loop doesn't have to leave you exhausted. It just needs to be consistent. "You're literally teaching yourself to foster a relationship with movement that's positive," Schatz said.

    2025 Best New Kids Books for Summer

    Stop the summer brain drain by getting your kids hooked on reading this summer. This is part two of the 10th annual KCRA summer beach reads series. Last week, we took a look at the best summer beach reads for adults with Tina Ferguson, owner of "Face in a Book" bookstore. This week, we're focusing on books for kids of all ages. Tina says the key to getting a kid to put a screen down is to offer a book that's more compelling than any video. And there are lots to choose from. Have a reluctant reader? Tina says it's helpful to let your child drive the book bus. Let them pick out what interests them. Graphic novels continue to be a huge trend for kids who aren't naturally drawn to reading. Her favorite this year is a book called "The Cartoonists Club." "I chose this one because graphic novels are great for reluctant readers. A lot of parents might think graphical novels aren't what they would choose for their child. But graphic novels actually have great vocabulary," Tina says.  Titles mentioned: "The Secret Letters," Margaret Peterson Haddox "Rebellion 1776," by Laurie Halse Anderson "The Cartoonists Club," by Raina Telgemeier & Scott McCloud "El Nino," by Pam Munoz Ryan "A Wolf Called Fire," by Rosanne Parry "Sharks Unhooked," by Patricia Newman Other places to listen CLICK HERE to listen on iTunes CLICK HERE to listen on Stitcher CLICK HERE to listen on Spotify See more coverage of top California stories here | Download our app | Subscribe to our morning newsletter | Find us on YouTube here and subscribe to our channel
