Wi-Fi being what it is, sometimes it slows down and things get glitchy – shows stop streaming, games glitch out and other weird things seem to happen. Wouldn't it be great if you could prioritize which devices in your house get first dibs on the bandwidth? Well actually there is a way. This episode begins with an explanation of how to do it. https://www.popsci.com/diy/prioritize-devices-on-your-wifi-network/ What is the difference between joy and happiness? They are definitely not the same thing. You can make the case that joy is what creates happiness. There is so much to joy and those special moments in life that create it, that it is worth understanding how joy works. For instance, there are things that are universally joyful around the world. Things like balloons and bright colors bring joy to virtually everyone. Ingrid Fetell Lee is an expert on joy and has a blog called The Aesthetics of Joy (https://aestheticsofjoy.com) . She is also author of the book Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness (https://amzn.to/3a4f8GM). She joins me to discuss how we can all bring more joy into our lives and why it is so important to understand the science of joy. Most of us spend more time on our electronic devices than we realize – way more time. The statistics are staggering. What's worse is that all the time you spend on your phone or other devices is time you are NOT spending doing something else and not spending time with other people. Joseph McCormack has studied this, and he is author of a book called Noise: Living and Leading When Nobody Can Focus (https://amzn.to/3cbgeTS). Listen as he explains the ways technology has become a “weapon of mass distraction” that negatively impacts our lives. He also then offers some simple strategies to help combat the problem. Do you rinse off all the food from the peanut butter jar and other recyclables before you put them out for collection? Should you? Do you have to? Listen as I explain just how clean it has to be and how some recyclables (like pizza boxes) actually can't be recycled. https://residentialwastesystems.com/blog/do-i-have-to-rinse-my-recyclables/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!

You can bring joy into your physical spaces at home and at work, and in doing so, bring joy into your life! Research shows that your physical surroundings actually influence your emotional and mental states of being. Ingrid Fetell Lee, author of the #1 best-selling book, Joyful, discusses the power of bringing joy into the aesthetics of your environment. Ingrid and Matt talk about the power of joy and how you can manifest it into your life through your surroundings. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: The link between our surroundings and our mental health How to be courageous with color The joyful aesthetics of the home How to bring joy into your aesthetics at work Bringing play into your spaces How to create a sense of abundance with your environment How judgment holds back joy [03:23] The Link Between Our Surroundings and Our Mental Health Our unconscious minds are absorbing information about our surroundings, through what we see, feel, smell, or hear. All of those sensations give us information about how safe, settled, calm, exciting, or joyful the environment feels. The more that we understand those sensations and the more that we understand the connection, the better we can set ourselves up for well-being. [15:39] Incorporating Play Into Your Space If you think about play, and you look at a child's world, there's one shape that starts to come out more than anything else – the circle or the sphere. For instance, there are a million different things you can do with a ball, hence, it's the most playful shape. Research shows that angular, sharp shapes create a heightened sense of unconscious caution and we're not as relaxed. We don't want that in our homes, so bringing in more of those round shapes can help with that sense of ease. [20:42] How to Create a Sense of Abundance With Our Aesthetics A huge contributor to feeling joy on a daily basis is an abundance mindset. And we live in this society that is constantly conditioning us to scarcity and competition, and feeling like we don't have enough. But joy is not a zero-sum game. You can have more joy and it doesn't take joy from anyone else. It is a self-reinforcing thing and it has a positive feedback loop. Notable quotes: 29:40] One of the biggest things that hold us back from joy is judgment. [20:43] [20:42] A huge contributor to feeling joy on a daily basis is… being able to find an abundance mindset. [20:48] [21:10] Joy is not a zero-sum game... you can have more joy and it doesn't take joy from anyone else.

Ingrid Fetell Lee is a Joy Seeker, Designer, and Author. She's on a mission to help you create a more joyful life through design. She will guide you to find more joy that already exists all around you and also teach you how to create joy. Ingrid gave a brilliant Ted Talk called “Where joy hides and how to find it”, I highly recommend checking it out. In her book “Joyful”, she shares all you need to know in order to create external environments that give rise to inner joy. She views joy from a perspective that I don't think most of us do, at least not consciously, and busts the doors wide open on how our physical environment has the ability to create massive joy.IG: @ingridfetell@aestheticsofjoyTwitter: @ingridfetellWebsite: https://aestheticsofjoy.com/Book Link: https://www.amazon.com/Joyful-Surprising-Ordinary-Extraordinary-Happiness/dp/0316399264/Ted Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/ingrid_fetell_lee_where_joy_hides_and_how_to_find_it?utm_campaign=tedspread&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=tedcomshare
Today's episode is all about Biophilic Design, which is a design style based on nature that's proven to have measurable positive effects on human health, happiness, productivity and even financial profit. The general stat I love to share is that it's proven to increase productivity by 15%, well-being by 15% and creativity by 6%. Hospital patients are shown to heal faster, businesses are show to make more money, people in traditionally stressful environments are show to be happier. Violence and crime decreases & cognitive health improves. I love Biophilic Design because it's just such a practical, achievable, immediate way to help yourself do better and feel better, without needing to have money, intelligence or any big time commitment. It truly is full of hacks that work for anyone. Most of this episode is based on Terrapin Bright Green's 14 Patterns of Biophilic Design (linked below).

We are made to believe that joy must be earned, that it is to be experienced only in certain conditions, and that it comes from inner strivings. But what if joy were the very basis of our being, and what if there were simple things in our outer environment that we could tap to infuse our everyday moments with joy? Is joy a very personal pursuit, or are there universal principles across humanity for how we can activate joy? How can we transform our institutions, workplaces and public spaces to maximize the joy we experience from being part of them?

Though we all have visions of our "dream homes" dancing in our heads, most of us live within constraints of some kind: location, budget, resources, even the desires and opinions of the people you live with. This week, we're talking about finding ways to love where you live regardless of your unaccomplished wishlist. We discuss combining styles, embracing joy over sophistication and choosing to find the good in the here and now. Michelle's Portland house was featured on Design Mom's Living with Kids in 2015.

Why do some people get excited about very ordinary things? How can I be excited about my very ordinary life? Recently I stumbled across this guy who really likes cars. His name is Doug DeMuro and he has 4 million YouTube subscribers, but that hasn't stopped him from creating videos in his t-shirt, shorts, and sneakers with basic camera skills and no scripting whatsoever. But he really likes cars and his enthusiasm is contagious. Doug's enthusiasm got me thinking about the intersection between creativity, joyfulness, and intelligence. So if you're into conversations about Cognitive Science, cars, and marshmallow-eating chipmunks then there's something in this episode for you.As mentioned in the episode:Doug DeMuro's review: "The Mitsubishi Pajero Mini Is a Very Tiny, Cute Off-Roader"Intimations of Creativity with Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman on the Jordan B.

Throughout the book she explores how joy can be purposefully created through measures both big and small, and she equips us with the tools to cultivate joy in our own lives too!In addition to this mini book report, this week I also share how I strike the balance between working towards big, audacious goals while also appreciating each and every day.
