Bonus Episode: Psychologists Address Climate Change

From roaring leaf blowers to screeching trains, the world is full of unwelcome noise – and researchers have found that noisy environments can take a real toll on people’s mental and physical health. Arline Bronzaft, PhD, talks about how noise affects health and well-being, how it can harm kids’ learning, why it’s not just a problem in big cities, and the most unusual noise complaints she’s heard in her five decades of advocacy combating noise pollution.

Last year -- 2023 -- was the world’s warmest on record, and 2024 could bring another record-shattering summer. Psychologist Kim Meidenbauer, PhD, and public health researcher Amruta Nori-Sarma, PhD, discuss how heat affects people’s mental health, emotions and even cognitive abilities; the link between heat, violence and aggression; who is most vulnerable to the effects of extreme heat; and what policy makers could be doing to mitigate its effects.

Why can’t I get myself to run that 5K? Why isn’t my child getting better grades? We all have things that we struggle to accomplish – or that we struggle to get someone else to accomplish. Frank Worrell, PhD, and Wendy Grolnick, PhD, co-authors of “Motivation Myth Busters: Science-based Strategies to Boost Motivation in Yourself and Others,” discuss how our misconceptions about motivation get in the way of reaching our goals, why there’s no such thing as an “unmotivated” person, and the merits and drawbacks of strategies like rewards, competition and praise.

The average American adult spends up to one-third of their waking hours alone. Psychologists are exploring how those hours spent on our own affect us – including the potential benefits, as well as the challenges, of solitude. Thuy-vy Nguyen, PhD, and Netta Weinstein, PhD, discuss the difference between solitude and loneliness, how solitude affects our emotions and stress levels, why some people crave solitude more than others, and why the stigma against solitude can make us uncomfortable with being alone.

The 2024 World Happiness Report, which ranks the happiness levels of countries around the world, found that young Americans are less happy than their peers in many other countries. Psychology professor Lara Aknin, PhD, an editor of the report, talks about how the report defines happiness, why young people’s happiness levels may have dropped in the U.S, what drives happiness, and why being generous makes people happy – even when they don’t have much to spare.

A growing number of adults in the U.S. are choosing not to have children. Jenna Watling Neal, PhD, of Michigan State University, talks about her research that’s found 1 in 5 adults are child free, why people are choosing not to have kids, the stigma child-free adults face, whether people who decide not to have kids early in life usually stick with that choice, and how the prevalence of child-free adults in the U.S. compares with other countries.

If the thought of the upcoming election sends your stress level through the roof, you’re not alone. Psychologist Brett Q. Ford, PhD, and political scientist Kevin Smith, PhD, talk about how political stress affects people’s well-being; what high levels of political stress mean for people’s lives, for the U.S. and for democracy; and how to stay politically engaged while still maintaining your mental health.

Sesame Street has entertained and educated generations of children. Developmental psychologist Rosemarie Truglio, PhD, Sesame Workshop’s senior vice president of curriculum and content, talks about why the show has a new focus on young children’s emotional well-being; how Sesame Street translates complicated concepts into stories that young kids can connect with; the research that underpins all of the content on Sesame Street; and why the Sesame Street characters still resonate with so many adults.

The eerie sensation of “déjà vu” -- feeling a strong sense of familiarity in a new place or situation -- is one of memory’s strangest tricks. Researcher Chris Moulin, PhD, of Grenoble Alpes University, talks about why déjà vu happens; why both déjà vu and its lesser-known opposite, jamais vu, may actually be signs of a healthy memory at work; why young people are more prone to déjà vu; how he and others study déjà vu and jamais vu in the lab; and what these experiences can teach us about memory more broadly.

Are you a sports “superfan”? Or do you wonder what’s driving the superfans in your life? Daniel Wann, PhD, of Murray State University, talks about why being a fan is usually good for people’s mental health, how they choose the teams they root for, why some are fair-weather fans while others love to cheer for the underdog, how fandom is changing among younger people, and whether a crowd of supportive fans can affect the outcome of a game.

In this episode, I go over my recommendations for morning routines that I use every day.

 Please set up your morning so it sets up the rest of your day. You have to put together a morning routine. Now we all have our morning routines, you may not realize it but you do the same thing every single morning. You wake up at the same time as you make the same movements every morning. After you get out of bed you take the same steps every morning. And you do the same procedure every morning. Well, you need to stop that and change it up a little bit. The first thing I recommend even before you get out of bed is to do some stretching. I've talked before about the type of stretching you should do. The best stretch in the morning is lay flat on your back knees bent and without moving your feet lay your knees to the left for a little bit then to the right for a little bit it. it doesn't matter how far you bend your legs you may only be able to go so far but after doing this a while it will get better.

Your morning routine is setting up your body how you want your body to be during the day. This also goes with your mind you have to start your morning on a positive note. One of the easiest ways to change your morning is not to hit the snooze button. The minute that alarm goes off don't hit the snooze button and go back to sleep you're setting yourself up for a sluggish day. Even if you have to just sit up in bed and tell yourself “OK let's go”. By not hitting the snooze button you're giving yourself that extra 10 minutes every morning.

So, on your first thoughts. Of course, I recommend sitting up and doing your morning affirmations in my book but if you've already done that you know that the first thing you should do is be grateful for the day. Gratitude is a superpower. If you wake up and you're pissed off that you have to get up and go to work then the rest of your day will be filled with negativity. But if you wake up grateful that you have a day that you can get stuff done or look forward to after work where you can actually enjoy the day then your outlook on the day will be much better.

Your first step is to get out of bed and actually make the bed. It may seem like a small thing but psychologically when you come back at the end of the day to a nice fit bed you will actually feel better about yourself.

Second thing is to Do all your morning wake-up things such as go to the bathroom take a shower or wash your hair whatever you do, shave, or put on makeup. then go to your comfortable space. This could be anywhere in your house where you are comfortable. for some people, it is a big pillow in the corner or a sunroom or just a chair in your living room. This would be a good place to do your morning affirmations but you also want to just sit there quietly and do a  meditation. This could be a 5-minute meditation where you just sit and relax before looking at your phone or turning the TV on. this will set you up for a relaxing day and lower your stress levels. And puts you in a proactive instead of a reactive state of mind.

You will find by doing this you're not jumping out of bed and rushing to get to work. You get up relaxing and then just leave for work. You will feel so much better and more productive. As you do this your body will actually produce more of the good chemicals in your body, this will also lower your blood pressure, your heart rate, and your overall stress rate. This is why I set my book up the way it is you're actually training your brain to think and feel differently. You're rewiring your brain to think more of a positive mental attitude than a negative mental attitude.

I've mentioned this before there's a section in your brain called the reticulating activating system that tells your brain what is important and what to focus on. So, if you focus on the negative your brain will only show you the negative if you focus on positive and positive motivation your brain will lean more towards the positive aspects of life. It's like when you buy a new car (this is the easiest way to put it) you start noticing the same car all around you. Those cars have always been there but your brain didn't see them because it wasn't important. It's just like when you go to find something you keep telling yourself that you cannot find it you'll find that you can't find it. Then if someone comes into the room looking for the same thing it's right in front of you. That's because your activated reticulating system actually blocked your mind from seeing that.
