Show here on KCAA NBC News Radio Am ten fifty
f M one O six point five, the station that

(01:02):
tune in Audible, Amazon Music, te Live, rumble Pod, Chaser, streak, Er,
Speaker and more. Why so many places? Well, I want
to maximize my splatter zone for more hope and happiness.
So there's no gossip, no scandal, and no cay where
it's no Kardashian top at all. Instead, I want you
to focus on your own reality show and how you
(01:24):
can be happy eighty eight percent of the time. So
I have topics and guests and series and all kinds
of good stuff for the past. Let's see, I didn't
finish the banner. It's been one of those mornings. Let's
(01:44):
see how many consecutive weeks are we at now? We
are at six hundred and ninety eight consecutive weeks on
the air on camera, and boy, that's a lot of numbers.
For those of you who are calculating, that's over thirteen years.
(02:10):
I think we're at fifteen and a half years. And
I yeah, I'm grateful for that for sure. And I'm
also grateful that it is.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Monday, Mondy.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Yes, it is mental health matters Mondays, and that is
the day where we focus on mental health and not
the kind you know. I'm not a psychiatrist by choice,
not a psychologist clinical by choice. I'm not here to
(02:44):
prescribe medication. I'm not here to give you, you know,
official diagnoses certainly, or advice sirens always me and I'm
telling the truth.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Instead, I I am here to encourage you to use
your own powerful, most powerful muscle, which is choice, right,
your own ability to be the boss of you, and
certainly take some responsibility of things that you can change
(03:19):
when it comes to mental health if you want to
have better mental health.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
And so that is what I do on Mondays. So
I'm glad that you're here. I do believe it's Monday.
I was looking at the wrong calendar this sport. I'm
already like behind the gun. But it's all good, and
I'm glad that I'm here. We're going to start off with,
as usual, my gratitude sandwich, which is taking a bite
(03:49):
of my gratitude sandwich. It is top of the bun
things that you're grateful for, bottom of the bun, things
that you're grateful for inside yourself. So top of the
button is outside of yourself. So things if you just
like take a minute, take a breath through the nose
and release so the stories and the drama, and look
(04:12):
around you, and can you see anything that you're grateful for?
So this is a practice, This is a good life habit.
As a hashtag, blissifled something that you work on. It
doesn't come naturally. It's not a light switch. You have
to practice it. So I encourage you every weekday morning
(04:33):
on my show to look around start your day, not
with this with your phone MS meaningless scrolling, but instead
to look around you. So I'm gonna look around me
right now. And the first thing I see is a
poster of a book signing that I did at Barnes
(04:53):
and Noble, and I'm super grateful for that several, actually
many fabulous Barnes and Nobles that I did got to
do book signing, but reading at and I'm so grateful
for that. I'm grateful that today to find this with
(05:14):
my Asian Oprah giveaway, I get to give you an
audiobook copy of this national and number one Amazon bestselling book.
I'm grateful that I got to travel and be on
my Happy eighty eight mission eighty eight million more happy
people in the next eight years to bring that book
(05:36):
and to continue to talk about hope and happiness, which
is my brand. Happy eighty eight mission means eighty eight
million more happy people in the next eight years, So
I am grateful that I have been able to do that.
I am grateful that I have an amazing, beautiful, comfortable,
(06:04):
yummy bed. I love getting in my bed and just.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
Like feeling the eight hundred thread count sheets and just
the perfect softness hardness on my mattress.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
And I'm grateful that I have a bed to sleep in.
Not everybody does that. I'm grateful that I have homemade
spaghetti sauce in my fridge, my dad's ancient Chinese secret
spaghetti sauce. I'm grateful that I had an amazing weekend.
I got to do two of my favorite things, mojong
(06:42):
and karaoke, So that was thanks to East Never Loses,
a new group that I found from the internet. One
of my blood clot silver linings. I get to do
that now that I'm not traveling every where on tour.
I am grateful for beautiful friends like Bryant and Darla
(07:08):
who are getting married and I can actually talk about
it now because I was supposed to keep a secret.
He was proposing to.
Speaker 7 (07:15):
Her and I knew, and every time I talked to
her it was a it was a challenge to keep
my mouth shut and not to spill the surprise to her.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I am grateful finally for Oh, I'm grateful for so
many people who care about me. I think that, you know,
when bad things happen, it is it is uh not
easy for me to reach out and ask for help
(07:48):
or ask for support. And I've you know, made a
practice out of obviously being uh someone who is a
teacher or coach, and sometimes that lends itself to I
don't want to ask for help or admit that I'm
(08:09):
in pain or that things aren't going as well or
as planned. And so yeah, I'm grateful that when I
do share that and show some vulnerability, there are a
lot of people that come and are there to help
me fall back into them. Which is a good segue
(08:33):
to go to the bottom of the butt. Bottom of
the butt is things not outside of ourselves that we're
grateful for, but inside of ourselves. What do we like
about ourselves? What do we appreciate? And this is such
an important exercise and concept and foundation for mental health
(08:54):
because if you cannot appreciate yourself, if you cannot do
that weightlifting work to like yourself, it's going to be
really easy to look for love and all the wround
places get your intenna out, you know, looking for approval,
looking for likes literally on social media, and it's not
(09:16):
a very stable way to live if you're constantly judging
yourself based on other people's reactions and or being your
worst critic, your heart on yourself and you're hard on
yourself than you are on others. And that used to
be a you know, kind of like a badge of honor.
But what I know and what certainly the field of
(09:40):
psychology knows that self approval, self care, self love is
tantamount to your ability to feel worthy, and self worth
is certainly something that is tied to happiness one hundred
percent correlate it. So that's why we do the bottom.
Speaker 8 (10:00):
Of the button.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
So I am appreciative of my ability to show that
I don't have it all together, that when bad things happen,
I can be vulnerable and cry and not apologize for crying.
Tears of the disaffected they keep your heart soft. And
(10:22):
I can say that to other people to encourage them
to cry. And I can also say it to myself
to allow myself to feel sad, to feel some loss,
certainly right now, and it's really I went to the
umatologist last week, and so it's particularly it's particularly close
(10:50):
to my heart right now. And it's really interesting.
Speaker 9 (10:58):
How important it is to allow yourself to really feel
the feelings that come when bad things happen.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
I think that sometimes, in an effort to be helpful,
there's this, you know, balance is my keyword in all
that I do. Being too quick to move off something
that doesn't feel good is not helpful because then you
(11:31):
haven't processed it through and then marinating in it is
also not helpful and not feeling it all the way through.
So finding that balance is a quality, it's a skill,
it's an ability, it's a practice. And so that's I
am appreciative of my understanding that of my living it
(11:52):
and to also understand. I appreciate my ability to understand
that know why really as well meaning sometimes more mean
than well, can understand exactly what I'm going through and
it's okay. A lot of unhappiness comes when we try
(12:15):
to get people to understand exactly where we're coming from,
and nobody can. So that's why it's so important for
me to be okay and allow myself the feeling and
(12:37):
the experience exactly as I am experiencing it. So there's
really no point in spending hours and hours formulating a
text or an email or a speech to get someone
to really understand where you're coming from. They want to try,
(12:59):
but they never or will because they're not you. And
this is a this is a real skill to develop,
and that's I appreciate that I'm continuing to develop develop
that one, all right. I appreciate my ability to know
(13:19):
when to hold them and wonderful. Related to that, arguments
and disagreements are part of life. But again there's some ballads.
When to hold, when to fold as much as possible.
I want to feel good. That is the most important
thing for me on a day to day basis, on
(13:40):
a moment to moment, hour to hour. And why is that?
Because when I feel good is when I am like
thor and can attract the desires that I have for
everything that I want in life to come to me.
When I'm in a place of angst, anxiety, fear, worry, judgment,
(14:01):
lack and limitation, I'm not the or I have my
hands down, I cannot attract that. So that's why it's
so important to balance out communication and having a good
relationship with people. Certainly is important to have people understand
(14:21):
where you're coming from. That's intent and impact. What your
intent is to be understood. So your impact is to
ask am I being understood? Am I saying this in
a way that people can understand it? At the same
time balancing that out with what I just said before
that which is not everybody can understand fully or you're
(14:45):
coming from, and they never will because they're a different person.
So finding that balance again is tantamount for having happiness
eighty eight percent of the time. One more things that
I appreciate about myself. I appreciate my ability to pick
(15:06):
out really cool articles of clothing when I'm shopping and
to look like a million bucks without spending a million bucks.
That's my shopping model. And I appreciate my ability to
all right, and that is it for breakfast. Those of
you who can tune in every single morning at nine,
(15:32):
I am here. We have breakfast every morning, and we
do this good life exercise. So hopefully you're doing it.
Please don't do it while you're driving and write in
the chat, but you certainly can take a breath and
say it out loud to either the person that's sitting
and driving in with you or to yourself, or text
(15:54):
it to yourself or text it to someone. Those things
that you're grateful for top of the butt, and those
things to appreciate you do before you go to bed tonight.
All right, And that's it for breakfast with Doctor Marissa.
And take my advice. I'm not using it. Get balanced
with dodgor Mersy the morning show here on Monday morning.
(16:21):
All right, and what is it today? It is mental
health Matters. Monday, what is the topic for the day?
It says, everything is awesome. The topic today is mind games.
What mind games are you playing? Not with others necessarily,
(16:50):
but with your self. Now, why are we talking about this?
Because mind games are evidence of how powerful your mind is.
(17:14):
I have been on this.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Concentrated, focused part of my Happy eighty eight mission looking
at something called personal mastery. Now, personal mastery is different
than professional mastery.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
And it's not a topic we are. We don't go
to school. There's not a course called personal mastery. There's
a lot of focus on professional mastery. You go to school,
you learn a content specific ten thousand hours. You learn
to be good at something right so you can make money.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
And professional mastery is considered something that you are.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
A master at. Right. You want to be good at
something so you can command money for that. And that
is your goal in life is to be really good
at that. And here's the interesting thing. All that focus
the school, home, teachers, coaches, everyone is focused on being
(18:36):
the best that you can be on the outside, Right,
what is your skill? What is your contribution? And that
is right up here, and that's what we talk about.
We focus about and we don't focus or talk about
until as of late, the focus on mental health thanks
(18:59):
to my honorable moniker Oprah she I believe and I
credit her with bringing this whole conversation to mainstream media,
mainstream topics. Mainstream you know before red table talk or
you know, it's okay now to talk about mental health,
(19:21):
but wasn't before. And when we talk about mental health,
we're talking about personal mastery in my mind, and that's
something that a drug is not necessarily going to help
you with, and they mask feelings of unworthiness or low
self esteem. But I do believe there is a step.
(19:44):
I'm not knocking drugs. I am saying, however, that before
you reach for something outside of yourself, that there is
some work to be done that everybody can do on
their own right or with a therapist or with a
best friend, that looks at who's the boss of you.
(20:05):
So personal mastery looks at those voices in your head
that tell you that you're not enough, that tell you
that you're going to fail, right, fear of failure, fear
of success, self sabotage, perfectionism, all of those I have
wrapped under the umbrella of personal mastery and the lesson
(20:30):
that high profile names like Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade
and Robin Williams, and there's many, many, many more. I
use those because they are, you know, their lives in
our mind, right, they had professional mastery, So why were
(20:55):
they happy? Right? Why wasn't the fame and the money
and the status. Why wasn't that enough? And I believe
it's my BS, my belief system that personal mastery is
more important than professional mastery, because they showed that they
(21:18):
were unfortunate and sad examples of you know, you can
have all the professional mastery you have worked so hard
for in your entire life, and yet if you still
have those voices that hate yourself, or your your own
worst enemy, or you self sabotage, or you still don't
(21:39):
think you're enough no matter what you've accomplished, or you
have ninety nine compliments and one criticism and you focus
on that criticism, that is symptomatic of though personal mastery.
And I don't say that in judgment, but I say
(22:00):
that with so much care. Is that we have to
get a handle on. If we don't get a handle
on this, no matter what you accomplish, it's not going
to be good enough. It's not you're not going to
be happy enough, right all be happy when? Well, you
know when is when? When can be now if you
(22:23):
have personal mastery. So this is a course that I'm
creating right now. It's gonna be available very soon.
Speaker 10 (22:30):
But you know you're tuned here and I talk about
this every Monday, so I probably just need to go
back to the whole series.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
And put the course together that way. But I'm so
glad that you're here to really look at and talk
about with me this very very important topic. So we
need to take a quick break for news, weather, traffic,
and we'll be back with more on Monday. Mondy mental
(23:04):
health matters. Mondays here on Dake my Advice, I'm not
using a give balance with doctors in the morning show.
Don't go away. I'll be right back into and two.
Speaker 11 (23:17):
That's a piece piece out.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Well.
Speaker 12 (23:38):
She has been dubbed the Asian Oprah and she just
wants all of us to be happy.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Doctor Marissa aka the Asian Oprah says, the most important
thing you can choose is choosing to be happy. You
are tuned into my weekly talk radio TV show called
take My Advice.
Speaker 13 (24:02):
I'm not using it. Get balanced with Doctor Marissa.
Speaker 12 (24:16):
That's the idea for it. Dr Marissa Pay's new book
call Eight Ways to Be Happy.
Speaker 14 (24:22):
Many of us say, I am my own worst critic.
Nobody's harder on me than I am. And my response
to that is stop it.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Why are you doing that to yourself? You have to
be your biggest fan, because if you can't.
Speaker 14 (24:38):
At the end of the day say I did a
good job, who is We don't have to constantly be
angry at the things that are wrong. Why don't we
choose to be happy about things that are right? We
have the choice.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
That's our muscle, and life is so.
Speaker 15 (24:54):
Amazing if we can see it.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Take back your life with Doctor Maurica Pay.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
And we're back. You're too. Didn't take my advice, I'm
not using it. Get balance with Doctor Marisa. Good Morning
Show here on k c A A the station that
leaves no listener behind Home to the Asian Oprah number
one talking the Ie. Thank you very Much, A N
ten fifty f M one oh six y five, NBC
News Radio, NBC Sports and CNBC News. I'm so happy
(25:47):
you're here. I am doctor Mersa, your host, who is
your personal advocate to be happy? Eighty eight percent of
the time, and it is Mony Monday meal health matters
where we take a look at some ways in which
we can be happier. So today's topic in particular is
(26:09):
called a mind games. What kind of games are you
playing with yourself? And we talked earlier about why that
is important as a personal mastery, which is more important
in my mind, in my BS my belief system than
professional mastery, because you cannot enjoy and it will not
(26:31):
be enough to have fame, fortune, money if you cannot
love who you are and be happy with what you have.
My definition of happiness is having what you want and
wanting what you have. So I'm going to give you
one of the foundation points on how to stop playing
(26:55):
mind games. Of course, you know, you have to recognize
first that you're playing mind games, so you have to
separate yourself from the voice in your head. So those
of you who have read my book, and thank you
so much. I went for the first time really to
look at my Amazon reviews and they are absolutely incredible
(27:18):
and beautiful, So thank you for all of those who
did the reviews. Uh, this is your Asian Oprah giveaway today,
and this is my background stopping the the reflection. But
if you just google aways Happiness or doctor Mersa or
Asian Oprah or go to Asianoprah dot online or doctor
(27:40):
Versa dot life, what will happen. And we'll do this
right now so that you can see exactly what's gonna
happen when you go to my website. Let's see what
do I need to have here? And we're going to
(28:01):
doctor Mrs. Let's go to Asian Oprah online and there
it is. I hope you can see the share check
that yes, right there, and now that's going to be
a pop up that you just saw happen. And what
you can do is scroll, actually yeah, scroll and actually
(28:26):
it's on the right hand side. So you just go
ahead and type in your email and when you do,
I'm going to do this just a test that it works,
and when you submit, I'm going to get an email
that says you are now part of my Happy Tribe.
(28:49):
And when you do that, I will send you a
promo code that will allow you to download the audio
book Eight Ways to Happiness and I actually talking it.
I narrate it for you. So yeah, that's what you
(29:11):
get for tuning in, but in particular today, so I.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Am going to give you one of the most important
parts of working this muscle called.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Balanced centered insert your name. So a lot of us identify.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Ourselves with whatever's going through our mind, right, And I
know I have clients.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Who say I can't sit still to meditate.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Because I've got, you know, just a barrage of thoughts
that keep coming in every time I try to sit
still and.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Just not think, the more I think. And well, however
many you know, some people say eighty five thousand thoughts
of days, fifty thousands on, whatever the thousands is. It's
a lot of thoughts. And the worst part of that
is the majority of them. Some people say seventy eighty
(30:20):
five percent of thoughts are negative. Thank you for the finger.
Somebody just gave me the finger, not that one, but
the thumbs up. Thank you, and feel free to play
with me in the chat. I know that those negative
thoughts sometimes are so strong that you actually believe what
(30:41):
the voices the negative thoughts are saying to you. And
this is where personal mastery comes into play. If you
are playing mind games, and the symptom of a mind
game is you're believing that you are those thoughts. So
for me, I had a thought that said, you're fat,
(31:05):
you're ugly, you're clumsy, You're not good enough, You'll never
be good enough, You're always going to have to catch up.
You are as disadvantaged as your mother said you are,
(31:25):
or whoever that primary role model was, or is that
well meaning, sometimes more mean than well person, and you
somehow think that's who you are. So the first step
in stopping the mind games is recognizing that that voice
(31:46):
is not really who you are. It is a voice
that was created, that was generated to actually protect you.
So some people will say, take the critic and kill it,
or they'll say, you know, kill that beach in your
head because you know it is. It is a horrible
(32:09):
voice and you need to completely cut it off and
kill it. And I it's my BS, my belief system
that that voice is actually a developed voice in service
of you. So for me, when I was told that
(32:30):
by a well meaning tiger mom on steroids, and it's
called negative motivation. It's very common in a lot of
Asian moms. They use negative You know, I don't want
you to be fat and ugly, so I'm going to
tell you you're fat and ugly, And they really do mean it.
In the most loving way. I know that's hard to believe,
(32:55):
but it is true. Like I am grateful that in
the end of my mom's life in six months ago,
that I was able to really understand and accept that
she did really love me even when she said those things.
That was the very best that she could do. And
I really can embody that to the point where she
(33:17):
was able to express and hug me first time in
my entire life before she passed. So it is so
important to acknowledge and recognize that that voice, as much
as it's painful, is a part of you, but it
is not you. Number one and two that the flip
(33:38):
side of criticism is protection. So I know that my
internal critic, that voice that I name Rose. Guess what
my mom's name is. So I have an internal critic,
and I am at peace with this critic. I don't
like it all the time, but I reckon recognized that
(34:01):
the flip side of my critic is a protector. So
that same critic that insults me is also the same
critic that kept me from running across the street and
getting flattened by a car, kept me from burnt hands
(34:22):
putting my hands on soap because I was curious about
the red or the flame. So my first and foundation
suggestion on how to stop playing mind games is to
recognize the value of that critic.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
That's not.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
The normal common way that people look at that inner voice.
And so for me, when I f it's something, it
gets bigger. That's the law of attraction. So if I
hate the critic, the critics voice gets stronger. So if
I can make peace and actually appreciate my critic, then
(35:11):
I can begin to put it in the passenger seat
so that it's not driving my life car. So that
is the main advice recommendation shouldn't be giving advice on
the air, sorry, recommendation for this particular mental health matters
(35:32):
Monday's episode that I want you to just kind of
mull over, just kind of sit with and see if
you can't recognize, be aware, and then sort of make
not yeah, kind of make friends with your internal critic.
That's going to be the Happy eighty eight home play
(35:54):
instead home work this week is can I acknowledge and
be good and say Darlin, And this is what I
like you to do is put your arm around your
internal critic, whatever you're calling that person, I call mind
Rose and say repeat after me, Darlin, I love you.
(36:20):
I don't always like what you say. I recognize that
you are protecting me and keeping me safe. It is
negative motivation. You've been yelling at me about this. Whatever
it is, fat, h deli, clemsy, stupid, whatever those negative
words are. You've been saying this for my entire life.
(36:41):
I recognize that it's a way for you to help
me in a weird way. But I got it. You
don't have to do this anymore. I am balance centered.
And then insert your name, doctor Rissa, who I would
like to drive our lifeguard. You're tired, take a vacation,
(37:04):
sit down. I got this.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
I'm driving my lifeguard because frankly, Darling, you are driving
us over a cliff.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Because you're constant criticism of me, telling me what I'm
not good at, telling me that I need to do
more is exhausting. I want you to take a break,
sit down. I got this. And when you have this
conversation with your internal critic, both appreciating acknowledging it, it
(37:34):
will be a little quieter. I think our internal critic
it gets really loud when we try to cover it up.
Some people with affirmations in the mirror that they don't
really believe. That's a way to get your internal critic louder. Right,
If you don't believe that you are attractive, and you
(37:55):
look in the mirror and you say you're so beautiful,
the get our critic's going to go. Lease are you're
looking at yourself? And so if you've been yelling at
your internal critique and it's not working, you might want
to try what I just said with that exercise, have
(38:16):
a seat, you got to be tired, and see if
that works. All right, Hopefully that made sense to you.
Speaker 16 (38:26):
If it didn't, there's other Mental Health Matters Mondays where
you can contact me. You can always get a fifteen
minute call with me if you'd like to explore any

Speaker 3 (38:46):
I'm always open to that, all right, and you get
all that information on my website. I am going to
close out today Mental Health Matters Mondays with something that
I discovered for the first time. I had an interview,
a really great interview with someone. If you're a parent
(39:07):
and you're you know, going back to school right now
and your kids are not happy about having to do
homework or put their phone away or their games away.
Then this is absolutely an interview that you will want
to hear. Tom Clayton is the chief operating officer and
(39:29):
president of AURA. He leads the companies go to market strategy.
As both a technology executive and a parent, he understands
firsthand the challenges families face from managing screen time to
balance it back to school activities. His goal is to
help families create healthier digital habits and us with resources
(39:53):
like AURA. So I hope you enjoy this interview that
I did like week. I wanted to bring it to
you because it certainly is.
Speaker 4 (40:03):
Great for mental health matters for parents and certainly some
happiness there.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
So please enjoy the interview.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
Well, take your life with doctor Mauris.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
And we're back. And you know, I like to bring
you balancing good news and some good ideas on this show.
No headlines here, uh. And you know, as we're shifting
right now from summer break to school schedules, one of
the toughest adjustments is around kids screen time. Joining us
(40:50):
today is online safety expert Tom Clayton, here to share
practical tips for parents as they reset their kids digit
routines for the new school year. Clayton is a father
of three and chief operating officer and President of AURA.
Please welcome to the studio, Tom Clayton.
Speaker 17 (41:15):
Thank you, Mrsa Doctor Mersa.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
Always a pleasure to have you here with some great information,
maybe not the great greatest information for the kids, but
certainly for the parents. Why is back to school the
right time for families to reset digital routines?
Speaker 17 (41:35):
Yeah, so, coming out of summer where there's just a
lot more flexibility, less structure, later nights, more screen time,
and getting into the school year where you need really
to have a routine and a routine that supports focus, rest,
balance really makes back to school season the perfect reset
button for digital balance.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
That's great. And why what are some early signs that
screen time is starting to get in the way of school,
sleep or focus?
Speaker 17 (42:09):
Yeah, so obviously struggling with sleep is one sign, not
doing their homework or rushing through their homework, and.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
Really more irritability.
Speaker 17 (42:20):
So the more time kids spend on their phone, you
tend to see a higher level of irritability. So we're
really just trying to get parents those insights of the
patterns early so that they can recognize them, and then
make small, healthy changes before they become bigger issues.
Speaker 3 (42:38):
Yeah, I'm sure that irritability is heightened if you're interrupting
that from their screen time, for sure. How do parents
talk with their kids about screen time in a way
that feels supportive instead of confrontational as I call it
care frontational.
Speaker 17 (42:56):
Yes, yes, so, Like I said, I have three daughters,
and I learned pretty early on, and one of them,
the one I learned this with, was Marisa actually, and
what I what I learned is, you know, the heavy
handed approach just doesn't work. You need to come to
them with open ended questions. You know, ask them which
(43:18):
apps feel make them feel more creative or more connected,
which ones leave them feeling drained. By bringing them into
part of the conversation, it makes digital balance more of
a shared goal, not a punishment or a restriction. It's
really teaching them a new skill and building a routine
for their futures.
Speaker 8 (43:35):
You know, my.
Speaker 17 (43:36):
Youngest she's thirteen, and so I've been through this journey
a few times. I feel like I'm getting a little
better with practice, but still learning. And she the other
day a few months ago, said Dad, I want to
start digital detox day. And so every Sunday she puts
her phone down, she doesn't even watch TV, spends time
with friends, goes outside, reads books, and I could see
(43:58):
a mood difference immediately, and it was all on our own.
I was very proud.
Speaker 3 (44:02):
Yeah, well, heavy hand, it doesn't work with any miursa
just FYI. So let's see three simple tips parents can
try this week to make screen time feel more balanced.
My favorite word.
Speaker 17 (44:20):
Yeah, so, coming off of summer, you want to start
small and make gradual changes instead of making sudden cuts
to screen time. You get there over a period of time.
It's not going to happen overnight. You want to try
to anchor it around routines that are natural transition periods,
whether that's homework, dinner, bedtime. And then, I think the
(44:42):
most importantly is lead by example. Put your phone down more,
engage with them more, ask them questions. All of our kids, they,
whether we realize it or not, they look up to us,
and if they see us using our phones less and
engaging more, they will too.
Speaker 3 (44:59):
Yeah, that hypocritical part of it is certainly something to
think about for parents. Now, how does AURA help families
stay digitally balanced?
Speaker 1 (45:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 17 (45:12):
So we give families a set of tools that sort
of fit into your everyday life and routine. We have
all the platform has all the table stakes speetures you
would expect, like pausing the internet, setting down time for sleep,
daily limits on apps.
Speaker 18 (45:28):
But the big.
Speaker 17 (45:28):
Difference in the platform is there's a ton of great
insight into what apps your kids are using and how
long for each of them. But then also the positive
or negative sentiment by app or some apps that they
use them too long turn to negative sentiment, which ones
are causing higher anxiety or more stress or sleep issues.
Maybe they should be using them earlier than day rather
than later. So these insights really to show you what
(45:52):
usage habits are positive versus less than idea, and you
could work with your kids together to make them feel better.
Speaker 10 (45:59):
You know.
Speaker 17 (45:59):
The analogy I like to think of is you wouldn't
give your car a kit, your kid a car without
a seatbelt or draging lessons, And unfortunately the phone's the
same way. It's so connected and there's a lot of
things out there that could cause them harm, and so
you need to teach them how to be good healthy
digital citizens.
Speaker 3 (46:18):
Yeah, and I'm so glad that you brought this to
my world. I had no idea you insisted. This is
exactly my favorite kind of thing, learning about solution rather
than just beaching about the problem of kids on phone.
So where do we get more information about.
Speaker 17 (46:38):
Or yeah, that I mean, by the way, that's our
biggest challenge is everyone knows the problem, no one knows
the solution. So we're trying to educate as quickly as
we can. If you go to Ora dot Comauura dot com,
we have all our tools there and you can learn
more phone numbers. There were available twenty four to seven,
so please feel free to reach out.
Speaker 3 (46:58):
Definitely, definitely great resource. Aura dot com folks, a U
r A dot com. And I'm gonna do something I've
never done for my A one clients because you know, well,
for whatever reason, but because I really want to highlight this,
I'm gonna give you doctor Marissa's Beneficial Presence on the
(47:21):
Planet Award. So this is for you. Oh that is awesome.
Aura dot com folks. Here's some help, some support for
you having a healthier or your child having a healthier
relationship with their poem. Thank you so much, Tom Play,
(47:43):
Thank you, doctor Marissa. Absolutely, we'll be right back with more.
Take my advice, I'm not using it.
Speaker 8 (47:52):
Get balanced with doctor Marissa.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
Take your life with doctor Maurice.
Speaker 4 (48:16):
And I hope you enjoyed that interview. I was.
Speaker 3 (48:23):
I'm really happy to find out that parents do have
a resource in our dot com a u r A
dot com. That's why I gave him the Beneficial Presence
on the Planet award, because it is so important for
parents to have options rather than just I'm taking your
(48:45):
phone away or yeah, threatening or whatever. I loved his
tips around the different kinds of questions you can talk
to your kid about, because like it or not, technology
is part of our life, and if we focus on
the good parts of it, that's better. I know. I
tell parents all the time, and it's like, well, you know,
(49:10):
that is the way that kids connect these days. You
can hate it or you can just accept it, but
look for creative ways in which to engage with them
with that device, because we're also guilty of that. You know.
(49:30):
I hear a lot of complaints about people not talking
to each other, sitting in a restaurant both looking at
their phones, and yes, that is you know, for dinner
parties and stuff. I have a little tip for you
for those who gather in in larger groups with friends,
or actually it even works with your one friend. If
(49:51):
you put your phone in the middle of the table
and you put a face up, you don't turn it off,
and the first person to grab their phone picks up
the meal. That might be more incentive to be present
with everybody and be one with your food and be
(50:13):
one with each other. So that is why advice in
that case. Now we are going to also get a
great interview from an optometrist doctor eye doctor, because coming
with fallen back to school also is coming with things
(50:37):
like dry eye and irritated eyes, and so I wanted
to bring you that interview as well.
Speaker 4 (50:45):
So let's see if we can't do this easily, and
I'll share this.
Speaker 19 (50:57):
Well with doctor Maurice.
Speaker 3 (51:15):
And a welcome back. Automn may bring chrisp air and
colorful foliage, but it can also create challenges for eye
health due to dry indoor heat, dragweed, allergens, and increased
screen time. Joining us today is optometrist doctor Elise Kramer,
who is teaming up with theirteers to share timely tips
(51:39):
for dry eye sufferers. Doctor Kramer specializes in ocular surface
disease and specialty contact lens design and has lectured worldwide
on ihealth. Please welcome to my studio, doctor Elise Kramer.
Welcome to you this morning.
Speaker 14 (51:59):
Hi are you.
Speaker 3 (52:00):
I am happy and grateful, Thank you, How are you good?
Speaker 18 (52:05):
Thanks for having me this morning.
Speaker 3 (52:07):
Absolutely so, why is it important to address eye care
during the fall season?
Speaker 18 (52:15):
So you know, I health really connects directly to our
overall well being and exactly what you said, the fall
is beautiful, we all love it, but it does create
challenges for dried eye sufferers. And you know we have
that dehydrated air from heating systems, that rag weed allergies,
and also the increased screen time, right we cannot get
(52:37):
away from our screens, and that all can trigger irritation, dryness, fatigue.
And that's why I've partnered with Their Tears to really
remind everyone that caring for dry eyes isn't just about comfort.
It's really about finding solutions for long lasting relief.
Speaker 3 (52:54):
Yes, very important. It's a science what makes that raise
key for eye care?
Speaker 18 (53:03):
So it's a science captures how there Tears is more
than just soothing drops. It delivers all five critical electrolytes
in a science back formula that mirrors your natural tiers,
so theirre tears has five ftal electrolytes that we find
in our natural tiers like sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and bicarbonate.
(53:24):
That balance supports hydration that lasts, and that can really
make a difference for people even when seasonal dryness could
be really bad.
Speaker 3 (53:34):
Now I'm one of these sufferers, how can dry eye
sufferers find real relief?
Speaker 12 (53:41):
So?
Speaker 18 (53:41):
I think most people don't understand that electrolytes are the
unsung heroes of your natural tiers. Think of your tear
film as like a delicate ecosystem, so when it's out
of balance and your eyes lose water, then you can
feel the burn and thera. Tears is really the only
over the counter I drop with those five vital electrolytes,
and the formula restores moisture and balance of the ocular surface,
(54:05):
so it doesn't just cover up symptoms like a band aid.
It really replenishes what eyes are missing. So for people
struggling through that dry fall air, that can really make
a difference between eyes that are comfortable and completely like painful,
burning itching, you know, uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (54:25):
Yes, I know that very well. What other solutions are
available for eye care needs?
Speaker 18 (54:34):
Yeah, so everyone's different and you know, every eye is different,
and their tiers really addresses that with different options like
preservative free drops. There's gel formulations for overnight relief products
for every day, all day, and that range really allows
people to choose what works best for their lifestyle, so
whether they're working, they're outdoors, they're.
Speaker 3 (54:55):
Going out nighttime.
Speaker 18 (54:58):
And also, don't wait until just comfort becomes a really
big issue. I think addressing it at the earliest sign
that something's off. And there's also simple steps that you
can do at home or at your office, like adjusting
your indoor humidity. Obviously, staying hydrated super important, to drink water,
and blinking our eyes frequently, especially if you're on a screen.
(55:21):
You know, taking breaks sometimes from screen use, and for
persistent dryness, options like there are tears can really make
a difference. So I think it's important we prioritize our
eyehealth now and that could really make better comfort, I mean,
you know, better comfort protection throughout the entire fall season.
Speaker 3 (55:40):
Yeah. I actually had lasage deep and so dry I
is one of the symptoms. You know, later on I
did twenty five years of perfect I, you know, I
could see, but now the dry eye is is there
a product to help that as well?
Speaker 18 (55:58):
So it's really like I SA said, every eye is
so different and it's important to just find what works
for you. And there Tears has a huge range of
different products that are all science backed formulations for various
eye care needs. And like I said earlier, there's different
products that you can use every day, all day and
(56:19):
so yeah, definitely absolutely.
Speaker 3 (56:22):
So I see here, you're you got your doctorate in Montreel,
so I was born in so no, yeah, fellow Canadians,
I'm wow school there. I'm assuming you're you're.
Speaker 18 (56:35):
Born in Canada too, Yes, I am, yes, exactly.
Speaker 3 (56:41):
Well, where can we go for more of this really
great information for your eye care?
Speaker 18 (56:46):
Yeah, so there's a lot of information resources you can
find on thera tears dot com about the formulations, about
the science back formulations and dry in general. So that's
t H e r A tiers dot com.
Speaker 3 (57:02):
T H e R e A A E r A Yeah,
okay dot com. That's fabulous. Thank you so much for

I have topics and guests and series and all kinds

finish the banner. It's been one of those mornings. Let's
(01:44):
see how many consecutive weeks are we at now? We
are at six hundred and ninety eight consecutive weeks on
the air on camera, and boy, that's a lot of numbers.
For those of you who are calculating, that's over thirteen years.
(02:10):
I think we're at fifteen and a half years. And
I yeah, I'm grateful for that for sure. And I'm
also grateful that it is.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Monday, Mondy.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Yes, it is mental health matters Mondays, and that is
the day where we focus on mental health and not
the kind you know. I'm not a psychiatrist by choice,
not a psychologist clinical by choice. I'm not here to
(02:44):
prescribe medication. I'm not here to give you, you know,
official diagnoses certainly, or advice sirens always me and I'm
telling the truth.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Instead, I I am here to encourage you to use
your own powerful, most powerful muscle, which is choice, right,
your own ability to be the boss of you, and
certainly take some responsibility of things that you can change
(03:19):
when it comes to mental health if you want to
have better mental health.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
And so that is what I do on Mondays. So
I'm glad that you're here. I do believe it's Monday.
I was looking at the wrong calendar this sport. I'm
already like behind the gun. But it's all good, and
I'm glad that I'm here. We're going to start off with,
as usual, my gratitude sandwich, which is taking a bite
(03:49):
of my gratitude sandwich. It is top of the bun
things that you're grateful for, bottom of the bun, things
that you're grateful for inside yourself. So top of the
button is outside of yourself. So things if you just
like take a minute, take a breath through the nose
and release so the stories and the drama, and look
(04:12):
around you, and can you see anything that you're grateful for?
So this is a practice, This is a good life habit.
As a hashtag, blissifled something that you work on. It
doesn't come naturally. It's not a light switch. You have
to practice it. So I encourage you every weekday morning
(04:33):
on my show to look around start your day, not
with this with your phone MS meaningless scrolling, but instead
to look around you. So I'm gonna look around me
right now. And the first thing I see is a
poster of a book signing that I did at Barnes
(04:53):
and Noble, and I'm super grateful for that several, actually
many fabulous Barnes and Nobles that I did got to
do book signing, but reading at and I'm so grateful
for that. I'm grateful that today to find this with
(05:14):
my Asian Oprah giveaway, I get to give you an
audiobook copy of this national and number one Amazon bestselling book.
I'm grateful that I got to travel and be on
my Happy eighty eight mission eighty eight million more happy
people in the next eight years to bring that book
(05:36):
and to continue to talk about hope and happiness, which
is my brand. Happy eighty eight mission means eighty eight
million more happy people in the next eight years, So
I am grateful that I have been able to do that.
I am grateful that I have an amazing, beautiful, comfortable,
(06:04):
yummy bed. I love getting in my bed and just.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
Like feeling the eight hundred thread count sheets and just
the perfect softness hardness on my mattress.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
And I'm grateful that I have a bed to sleep in.
Not everybody does that. I'm grateful that I have homemade
spaghetti sauce in my fridge, my dad's ancient Chinese secret
spaghetti sauce. I'm grateful that I had an amazing weekend.
I got to do two of my favorite things, mojong
(06:42):
and karaoke, So that was thanks to East Never Loses,
a new group that I found from the internet. One
of my blood clot silver linings. I get to do
that now that I'm not traveling every where on tour.
I am grateful for beautiful friends like Bryant and Darla
(07:08):
who are getting married and I can actually talk about
it now because I was supposed to keep a secret.
He was proposing to.
Speaker 7 (07:15):
Her and I knew, and every time I talked to
her it was a it was a challenge to keep
my mouth shut and not to spill the surprise to her.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I am grateful finally for Oh, I'm grateful for so
many people who care about me. I think that, you know,
when bad things happen, it is it is uh not
easy for me to reach out and ask for help
(07:48):
or ask for support. And I've you know, made a
practice out of obviously being uh someone who is a
teacher or coach, and sometimes that lends itself to I
don't want to ask for help or admit that I'm
(08:09):
in pain or that things aren't going as well or
as planned. And so yeah, I'm grateful that when I
do share that and show some vulnerability, there are a
lot of people that come and are there to help
me fall back into them. Which is a good segue
(08:33):
to go to the bottom of the butt. Bottom of
the butt is things not outside of ourselves that we're
grateful for, but inside of ourselves. What do we like
about ourselves? What do we appreciate? And this is such
an important exercise and concept and foundation for mental health
(08:54):
because if you cannot appreciate yourself, if you cannot do
that weightlifting work to like yourself, it's going to be
really easy to look for love and all the wround
places get your intenna out, you know, looking for approval,
looking for likes literally on social media, and it's not
(09:16):
a very stable way to live if you're constantly judging
yourself based on other people's reactions and or being your
worst critic, your heart on yourself and you're hard on
yourself than you are on others. And that used to
be a you know, kind of like a badge of honor.
But what I know and what certainly the field of
(09:40):
psychology knows that self approval, self care, self love is
tantamount to your ability to feel worthy, and self worth
is certainly something that is tied to happiness one hundred
percent correlate it. So that's why we do the bottom.
Speaker 8 (10:00):
Of the button.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
So I am appreciative of my ability to show that
I don't have it all together, that when bad things happen,
I can be vulnerable and cry and not apologize for crying.
Tears of the disaffected they keep your heart soft. And
(10:22):
I can say that to other people to encourage them
to cry. And I can also say it to myself
to allow myself to feel sad, to feel some loss,
certainly right now, and it's really I went to the
umatologist last week, and so it's particularly it's particularly close
(10:50):
to my heart right now. And it's really interesting.
Speaker 9 (10:58):
How important it is to allow yourself to really feel
the feelings that come when bad things happen.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
I think that sometimes, in an effort to be helpful,
there's this, you know, balance is my keyword in all
that I do. Being too quick to move off something
that doesn't feel good is not helpful because then you
(11:31):
haven't processed it through and then marinating in it is
also not helpful and not feeling it all the way through.
So finding that balance is a quality, it's a skill,
it's an ability, it's a practice. And so that's I
am appreciative of my understanding that of my living it
(11:52):
and to also understand. I appreciate my ability to understand
that know why really as well meaning sometimes more mean
than well, can understand exactly what I'm going through and
it's okay. A lot of unhappiness comes when we try
(12:15):
to get people to understand exactly where we're coming from,
and nobody can. So that's why it's so important for
me to be okay and allow myself the feeling and
(12:37):
the experience exactly as I am experiencing it. So there's
really no point in spending hours and hours formulating a
text or an email or a speech to get someone
to really understand where you're coming from. They want to try,
(12:59):
but they never or will because they're not you. And
this is a this is a real skill to develop,
and that's I appreciate that I'm continuing to develop develop
that one, all right. I appreciate my ability to know
(13:19):
when to hold them and wonderful. Related to that, arguments
and disagreements are part of life. But again there's some ballads.
When to hold, when to fold as much as possible.
I want to feel good. That is the most important
thing for me on a day to day basis, on
(13:40):
a moment to moment, hour to hour. And why is that?
Because when I feel good is when I am like
thor and can attract the desires that I have for
everything that I want in life to come to me.
When I'm in a place of angst, anxiety, fear, worry, judgment,
(14:01):
lack and limitation, I'm not the or I have my
hands down, I cannot attract that. So that's why it's
so important to balance out communication and having a good
relationship with people. Certainly is important to have people understand
(14:21):
where you're coming from. That's intent and impact. What your
intent is to be understood. So your impact is to
ask am I being understood? Am I saying this in
a way that people can understand it? At the same
time balancing that out with what I just said before
that which is not everybody can understand fully or you're
(14:45):
coming from, and they never will because they're a different person.
So finding that balance again is tantamount for having happiness
eighty eight percent of the time. One more things that
I appreciate about myself. I appreciate my ability to pick
(15:06):
out really cool articles of clothing when I'm shopping and
to look like a million bucks without spending a million bucks.
That's my shopping model. And I appreciate my ability to
all right, and that is it for breakfast. Those of
you who can tune in every single morning at nine,
(15:32):
I am here. We have breakfast every morning, and we
do this good life exercise. So hopefully you're doing it.
Please don't do it while you're driving and write in
the chat, but you certainly can take a breath and
say it out loud to either the person that's sitting
and driving in with you or to yourself, or text
(15:54):
it to yourself or text it to someone. Those things
that you're grateful for top of the butt, and those
things to appreciate you do before you go to bed tonight.
All right, And that's it for breakfast with Doctor Marissa.
And take my advice. I'm not using it. Get balanced
with dodgor Mersy the morning show here on Monday morning.
(16:21):
All right, and what is it today? It is mental
health Matters. Monday, what is the topic for the day?
It says, everything is awesome. The topic today is mind games.
What mind games are you playing? Not with others necessarily,
(16:50):
but with your self. Now, why are we talking about this?
Because mind games are evidence of how powerful your mind is.
(17:14):
I have been on this.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Concentrated, focused part of my Happy eighty eight mission looking
at something called personal mastery. Now, personal mastery is different
than professional mastery.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
And it's not a topic we are. We don't go
to school. There's not a course called personal mastery. There's
a lot of focus on professional mastery. You go to school,
you learn a content specific ten thousand hours. You learn
to be good at something right so you can make money.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
And professional mastery is considered something that you are.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
A master at. Right. You want to be good at
something so you can command money for that. And that
is your goal in life is to be really good
at that. And here's the interesting thing. All that focus
the school, home, teachers, coaches, everyone is focused on being
(18:36):
the best that you can be on the outside, Right,
what is your skill? What is your contribution? And that
is right up here, and that's what we talk about.
We focus about and we don't focus or talk about
until as of late, the focus on mental health thanks
(18:59):
to my honorable moniker Oprah she I believe and I
credit her with bringing this whole conversation to mainstream media,
mainstream topics. Mainstream you know before red table talk or
you know, it's okay now to talk about mental health,
(19:21):
but wasn't before. And when we talk about mental health,
we're talking about personal mastery in my mind, and that's
something that a drug is not necessarily going to help
you with, and they mask feelings of unworthiness or low
self esteem. But I do believe there is a step.
(19:44):
I'm not knocking drugs. I am saying, however, that before
you reach for something outside of yourself, that there is
some work to be done that everybody can do on
their own right or with a therapist or with a
best friend, that looks at who's the boss of you.
(20:05):
So personal mastery looks at those voices in your head
that tell you that you're not enough, that tell you
that you're going to fail, right, fear of failure, fear
of success, self sabotage, perfectionism, all of those I have
wrapped under the umbrella of personal mastery and the lesson
(20:30):
that high profile names like Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade
and Robin Williams, and there's many, many, many more. I
use those because they are, you know, their lives in
our mind, right, they had professional mastery, So why were
(20:55):
they happy? Right? Why wasn't the fame and the money
and the status. Why wasn't that enough? And I believe
it's my BS, my belief system that personal mastery is
more important than professional mastery, because they showed that they
(21:18):
were unfortunate and sad examples of you know, you can
have all the professional mastery you have worked so hard
for in your entire life, and yet if you still
have those voices that hate yourself, or your your own
worst enemy, or you self sabotage, or you still don't
(21:39):
think you're enough no matter what you've accomplished, or you
have ninety nine compliments and one criticism and you focus
on that criticism, that is symptomatic of though personal mastery.
And I don't say that in judgment, but I say
(22:00):
that with so much care. Is that we have to
get a handle on. If we don't get a handle
on this, no matter what you accomplish, it's not going
to be good enough. It's not you're not going to
be happy enough, right all be happy when? Well, you
know when is when? When can be now if you
(22:23):
have personal mastery. So this is a course that I'm
creating right now. It's gonna be available very soon.
Speaker 10 (22:30):
But you know you're tuned here and I talk about
this every Monday, so I probably just need to go
back to the whole series.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
And put the course together that way. But I'm so
glad that you're here to really look at and talk
about with me this very very important topic. So we
need to take a quick break for news, weather, traffic,
and we'll be back with more on Monday. Mondy mental
(23:04):
health matters. Mondays here on Dake my Advice, I'm not
using a give balance with doctors in the morning show.
Don't go away. I'll be right back into and two.
Speaker 11 (23:17):
That's a piece piece out.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Well.
Speaker 12 (23:38):
She has been dubbed the Asian Oprah and she just
wants all of us to be happy.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Doctor Marissa aka the Asian Oprah says, the most important
thing you can choose is choosing to be happy. You
are tuned into my weekly talk radio TV show called
take My Advice.
Speaker 13 (24:02):
I'm not using it. Get balanced with Doctor Marissa.
Speaker 12 (24:16):
That's the idea for it. Dr Marissa Pay's new book
call Eight Ways to Be Happy.
Speaker 14 (24:22):
Many of us say, I am my own worst critic.
Nobody's harder on me than I am. And my response
to that is stop it.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Why are you doing that to yourself? You have to
be your biggest fan, because if you can't.
Speaker 14 (24:38):
At the end of the day say I did a
good job, who is We don't have to constantly be
angry at the things that are wrong. Why don't we
choose to be happy about things that are right? We
have the choice.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
That's our muscle, and life is so.
Speaker 15 (24:54):
Amazing if we can see it.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Take back your life with Doctor Maurica Pay.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
And we're back. You're too. Didn't take my advice, I'm
not using it. Get balance with Doctor Marisa. Good Morning
Show here on k c A A the station that
leaves no listener behind Home to the Asian Oprah number
one talking the Ie. Thank you very Much, A N
ten fifty f M one oh six y five, NBC
News Radio, NBC Sports and CNBC News. I'm so happy
(25:47):
you're here. I am doctor Mersa, your host, who is
your personal advocate to be happy? Eighty eight percent of
the time, and it is Mony Monday meal health matters
where we take a look at some ways in which
we can be happier. So today's topic in particular is
(26:09):
called a mind games. What kind of games are you
playing with yourself? And we talked earlier about why that
is important as a personal mastery, which is more important
in my mind, in my BS my belief system than
professional mastery, because you cannot enjoy and it will not
(26:31):
be enough to have fame, fortune, money if you cannot
love who you are and be happy with what you have.
My definition of happiness is having what you want and
wanting what you have. So I'm going to give you
one of the foundation points on how to stop playing
(26:55):
mind games. Of course, you know, you have to recognize
first that you're playing mind games, so you have to
separate yourself from the voice in your head. So those
of you who have read my book, and thank you
so much. I went for the first time really to
look at my Amazon reviews and they are absolutely incredible
(27:18):
and beautiful, So thank you for all of those who
did the reviews. Uh, this is your Asian Oprah giveaway today,
and this is my background stopping the the reflection. But
if you just google aways Happiness or doctor Mersa or

promo code that will allow you to download the audio
book Eight Ways to Happiness and I actually talking it.
I narrate it for you. So yeah, that's what you
(29:11):
get for tuning in, but in particular today, so I.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Am going to give you one of the most important
parts of working this muscle called.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Balanced centered insert your name. So a lot of us identify.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Ourselves with whatever's going through our mind, right, And I
know I have clients.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Who say I can't sit still to meditate.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Because I've got, you know, just a barrage of thoughts
that keep coming in every time I try to sit
still and.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Just not think, the more I think. And well, however
many you know, some people say eighty five thousand thoughts
of days, fifty thousands on, whatever the thousands is. It's
a lot of thoughts. And the worst part of that
is the majority of them. Some people say seventy eighty
(30:20):
five percent of thoughts are negative. Thank you for the finger.
Somebody just gave me the finger, not that one, but
the thumbs up. Thank you, and feel free to play
with me in the chat. I know that those negative
thoughts sometimes are so strong that you actually believe what
(30:41):
the voices the negative thoughts are saying to you. And
this is where personal mastery comes into play. If you
are playing mind games, and the symptom of a mind
game is you're believing that you are those thoughts. So
for me, I had a thought that said, you're fat,
(31:05):
you're ugly, you're clumsy, You're not good enough, You'll never
be good enough, You're always going to have to catch up.
You are as disadvantaged as your mother said you are,
(31:25):
or whoever that primary role model was, or is that
well meaning, sometimes more mean than well person, and you
somehow think that's who you are. So the first step
in stopping the mind games is recognizing that that voice
(31:46):
is not really who you are. It is a voice
that was created, that was generated to actually protect you.
So some people will say, take the critic and kill it,
or they'll say, you know, kill that beach in your
head because you know it is. It is a horrible
(32:09):
voice and you need to completely cut it off and
kill it. And I it's my BS, my belief system
that that voice is actually a developed voice in service
of you. So for me, when I was told that
(32:30):
by a well meaning tiger mom on steroids, and it's
called negative motivation. It's very common in a lot of
Asian moms. They use negative You know, I don't want
you to be fat and ugly, so I'm going to
tell you you're fat and ugly, And they really do mean it.
In the most loving way. I know that's hard to believe,
(32:55):
but it is true. Like I am grateful that in
the end of my mom's life in six months ago,
that I was able to really understand and accept that
she did really love me even when she said those things.
That was the very best that she could do. And
I really can embody that to the point where she
(33:17):
was able to express and hug me first time in
my entire life before she passed. So it is so
important to acknowledge and recognize that that voice, as much
as it's painful, is a part of you, but it
is not you. Number one and two that the flip
(33:38):
side of criticism is protection. So I know that my
internal critic, that voice that I name Rose. Guess what
my mom's name is. So I have an internal critic,
and I am at peace with this critic. I don't
like it all the time, but I reckon recognized that
(34:01):
the flip side of my critic is a protector. So
that same critic that insults me is also the same
critic that kept me from running across the street and
getting flattened by a car, kept me from burnt hands
(34:22):
putting my hands on soap because I was curious about
the red or the flame. So my first and foundation
suggestion on how to stop playing mind games is to
recognize the value of that critic.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
That's not.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
The normal common way that people look at that inner voice.
And so for me, when I f it's something, it
gets bigger. That's the law of attraction. So if I
hate the critic, the critics voice gets stronger. So if
I can make peace and actually appreciate my critic, then
(35:11):
I can begin to put it in the passenger seat
so that it's not driving my life car. So that
is the main advice recommendation shouldn't be giving advice on
the air, sorry, recommendation for this particular mental health matters
(35:32):
Monday's episode that I want you to just kind of
mull over, just kind of sit with and see if
you can't recognize, be aware, and then sort of make
not yeah, kind of make friends with your internal critic.
That's going to be the Happy eighty eight home play
(35:54):
instead home work this week is can I acknowledge and
be good and say Darlin, And this is what I
like you to do is put your arm around your
internal critic, whatever you're calling that person, I call mind
Rose and say repeat after me, Darlin, I love you.
(36:20):
I don't always like what you say. I recognize that
you are protecting me and keeping me safe. It is
negative motivation. You've been yelling at me about this. Whatever
it is, fat, h deli, clemsy, stupid, whatever those negative
words are. You've been saying this for my entire life.
(36:41):
I recognize that it's a way for you to help
me in a weird way. But I got it. You
don't have to do this anymore. I am balance centered.
And then insert your name, doctor Rissa, who I would
like to drive our lifeguard. You're tired, take a vacation,
(37:04):
sit down. I got this.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
I'm driving my lifeguard because frankly, Darling, you are driving
us over a cliff.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Because you're constant criticism of me, telling me what I'm
not good at, telling me that I need to do
more is exhausting. I want you to take a break,
sit down. I got this. And when you have this
conversation with your internal critic, both appreciating acknowledging it, it
(37:34):
will be a little quieter. I think our internal critic
it gets really loud when we try to cover it up.
Some people with affirmations in the mirror that they don't
really believe. That's a way to get your internal critic louder. Right,
If you don't believe that you are attractive, and you
(37:55):
look in the mirror and you say you're so beautiful,
the get our critic's going to go. Lease are you're
looking at yourself? And so if you've been yelling at
your internal critique and it's not working, you might want
to try what I just said with that exercise, have
(38:16):
a seat, you got to be tired, and see if
that works. All right, Hopefully that made sense to you.
Speaker 16 (38:26):
If it didn't, there's other Mental Health Matters Mondays where
you can contact me. You can always get a fifteen
minute call with me if you'd like to explore any
part of my Happy eighty eight mission, whether it's with
coaching or having me speak somewhere.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
I'm always open to that, all right, and you get
all that information on my website. I am going to
close out today Mental Health Matters Mondays with something that
I discovered for the first time. I had an interview,
a really great interview with someone. If you're a parent
(39:07):
and you're you know, going back to school right now
and your kids are not happy about having to do
homework or put their phone away or their games away.
Then this is absolutely an interview that you will want
to hear. Tom Clayton is the chief operating officer and
(39:29):
president of AURA. He leads the companies go to market strategy.
As both a technology executive and a parent, he understands
firsthand the challenges families face from managing screen time to
balance it back to school activities. His goal is to
help families create healthier digital habits and us with resources
(39:53):
like AURA. So I hope you enjoy this interview that
I did like week. I wanted to bring it to
you because it certainly is.
Speaker 4 (40:03):
Great for mental health matters for parents and certainly some
happiness there.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
So please enjoy the interview.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
Well, take your life with doctor Mauris.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
And we're back. And you know, I like to bring
you balancing good news and some good ideas on this show.
No headlines here, uh. And you know, as we're shifting
right now from summer break to school schedules, one of
the toughest adjustments is around kids screen time. Joining us
(40:50):
today is online safety expert Tom Clayton, here to share
practical tips for parents as they reset their kids digit
routines for the new school year. Clayton is a father
of three and chief operating officer and President of AURA.
Please welcome to the studio, Tom Clayton.
Speaker 17 (41:15):
Thank you, Mrsa Doctor Mersa.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
Always a pleasure to have you here with some great information,
maybe not the great greatest information for the kids, but
certainly for the parents. Why is back to school the
right time for families to reset digital routines?
Speaker 17 (41:35):
Yeah, so, coming out of summer where there's just a
lot more flexibility, less structure, later nights, more screen time,
and getting into the school year where you need really
to have a routine and a routine that supports focus, rest,
balance really makes back to school season the perfect reset
button for digital balance.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
That's great. And why what are some early signs that
screen time is starting to get in the way of school,
sleep or focus?
Speaker 17 (42:09):
Yeah, so obviously struggling with sleep is one sign, not
doing their homework or rushing through their homework, and.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
Really more irritability.
Speaker 17 (42:20):
So the more time kids spend on their phone, you
tend to see a higher level of irritability. So we're
really just trying to get parents those insights of the
patterns early so that they can recognize them, and then
make small, healthy changes before they become bigger issues.
Speaker 3 (42:38):
Yeah, I'm sure that irritability is heightened if you're interrupting
that from their screen time, for sure. How do parents
talk with their kids about screen time in a way
that feels supportive instead of confrontational as I call it
care frontational.
Speaker 17 (42:56):
Yes, yes, so, Like I said, I have three daughters,
and I learned pretty early on, and one of them,
the one I learned this with, was Marisa actually, and
what I what I learned is, you know, the heavy
handed approach just doesn't work. You need to come to
them with open ended questions. You know, ask them which
(43:18):
apps feel make them feel more creative or more connected,
which ones leave them feeling drained. By bringing them into
part of the conversation, it makes digital balance more of
a shared goal, not a punishment or a restriction. It's
really teaching them a new skill and building a routine
for their futures.
Speaker 8 (43:35):
You know, my.
Speaker 17 (43:36):
Youngest she's thirteen, and so I've been through this journey
a few times. I feel like I'm getting a little
better with practice, but still learning. And she the other
day a few months ago, said Dad, I want to
start digital detox day. And so every Sunday she puts
her phone down, she doesn't even watch TV, spends time
with friends, goes outside, reads books, and I could see
(43:58):
a mood difference immediately, and it was all on our own.
I was very proud.
Speaker 3 (44:02):
Yeah, well, heavy hand, it doesn't work with any miursa
just FYI. So let's see three simple tips parents can
try this week to make screen time feel more balanced.
My favorite word.
Speaker 17 (44:20):
Yeah, so, coming off of summer, you want to start
small and make gradual changes instead of making sudden cuts
to screen time. You get there over a period of time.
It's not going to happen overnight. You want to try
to anchor it around routines that are natural transition periods,
whether that's homework, dinner, bedtime. And then, I think the
(44:42):
most importantly is lead by example. Put your phone down more,
engage with them more, ask them questions. All of our kids, they,
whether we realize it or not, they look up to us,
and if they see us using our phones less and
engaging more, they will too.
Speaker 3 (44:59):
Yeah, that hypocritical part of it is certainly something to
think about for parents. Now, how does AURA help families
stay digitally balanced?
Speaker 1 (45:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 17 (45:12):
So we give families a set of tools that sort
of fit into your everyday life and routine. We have
all the platform has all the table stakes speetures you
would expect, like pausing the internet, setting down time for sleep,
daily limits on apps.
Speaker 18 (45:28):
But the big.
Speaker 17 (45:28):
Difference in the platform is there's a ton of great
insight into what apps your kids are using and how
long for each of them. But then also the positive
or negative sentiment by app or some apps that they
use them too long turn to negative sentiment, which ones
are causing higher anxiety or more stress or sleep issues.
Maybe they should be using them earlier than day rather
than later. So these insights really to show you what
(45:52):
usage habits are positive versus less than idea, and you
could work with your kids together to make them feel better.
Speaker 10 (45:59):
You know.
Speaker 17 (45:59):
The analogy I like to think of is you wouldn't
give your car a kit, your kid a car without
a seatbelt or draging lessons, And unfortunately the phone's the
same way. It's so connected and there's a lot of
things out there that could cause them harm, and so
you need to teach them how to be good healthy
digital citizens.
Speaker 3 (46:18):
Yeah, and I'm so glad that you brought this to
my world. I had no idea you insisted. This is
exactly my favorite kind of thing, learning about solution rather
than just beaching about the problem of kids on phone.
So where do we get more information about.
Speaker 17 (46:38):
Or yeah, that I mean, by the way, that's our
biggest challenge is everyone knows the problem, no one knows
the solution. So we're trying to educate as quickly as
we can. If you go to Ora dot Comauura dot com,
we have all our tools there and you can learn
more phone numbers. There were available twenty four to seven,
so please feel free to reach out.
Speaker 3 (46:58):
Definitely, definitely great resource. Aura dot com folks, a U
r A dot com. And I'm gonna do something I've
never done for my A one clients because you know, well,
for whatever reason, but because I really want to highlight this,
I'm gonna give you doctor Marissa's Beneficial Presence on the
(47:21):
Planet Award. So this is for you. Oh that is awesome.
Aura dot com folks. Here's some help, some support for
you having a healthier or your child having a healthier
relationship with their poem. Thank you so much, Tom Play,
(47:43):
Thank you, doctor Marissa. Absolutely, we'll be right back with more.
Take my advice, I'm not using it.
Speaker 8 (47:52):
Get balanced with doctor Marissa.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
Take your life with doctor Maurice.
Speaker 4 (48:16):
And I hope you enjoyed that interview. I was.
Speaker 3 (48:23):
I'm really happy to find out that parents do have
a resource in our dot com a u r A
dot com. That's why I gave him the Beneficial Presence
on the Planet award, because it is so important for
parents to have options rather than just I'm taking your
(48:45):
phone away or yeah, threatening or whatever. I loved his
tips around the different kinds of questions you can talk
to your kid about, because like it or not, technology
is part of our life, and if we focus on
the good parts of it, that's better. I know. I
tell parents all the time, and it's like, well, you know,
(49:10):
that is the way that kids connect these days. You
can hate it or you can just accept it, but
look for creative ways in which to engage with them
with that device, because we're also guilty of that. You know.
(49:30):
I hear a lot of complaints about people not talking
to each other, sitting in a restaurant both looking at
their phones, and yes, that is you know, for dinner
parties and stuff. I have a little tip for you
for those who gather in in larger groups with friends,
or actually it even works with your one friend. If
(49:51):
you put your phone in the middle of the table
and you put a face up, you don't turn it off,
and the first person to grab their phone picks up
the meal. That might be more incentive to be present
with everybody and be one with your food and be
(50:13):
one with each other. So that is why advice in
that case. Now we are going to also get a
great interview from an optometrist doctor eye doctor, because coming
with fallen back to school also is coming with things
(50:37):
like dry eye and irritated eyes, and so I wanted
to bring you that interview as well.
Speaker 4 (50:45):
So let's see if we can't do this easily, and
I'll share this.
Speaker 19 (50:57):
Well with doctor Maurice.
Speaker 3 (51:15):
And a welcome back. Automn may bring chrisp air and
colorful foliage, but it can also create challenges for eye
health due to dry indoor heat, dragweed, allergens, and increased
screen time. Joining us today is optometrist doctor Elise Kramer,
who is teaming up with theirteers to share timely tips
(51:39):
for dry eye sufferers. Doctor Kramer specializes in ocular surface
disease and specialty contact lens design and has lectured worldwide
on ihealth. Please welcome to my studio, doctor Elise Kramer.
Welcome to you this morning.
Speaker 14 (51:59):
Hi are you.
Speaker 3 (52:00):
I am happy and grateful, Thank you, How are you good?
Speaker 18 (52:05):
Thanks for having me this morning.
Speaker 3 (52:07):
Absolutely so, why is it important to address eye care
during the fall season?
Speaker 18 (52:15):
So you know, I health really connects directly to our
overall well being and exactly what you said, the fall
is beautiful, we all love it, but it does create
challenges for dried eye sufferers. And you know we have
that dehydrated air from heating systems, that rag weed allergies,
and also the increased screen time, right we cannot get
(52:37):
away from our screens, and that all can trigger irritation, dryness, fatigue.
And that's why I've partnered with Their Tears to really
remind everyone that caring for dry eyes isn't just about comfort.
It's really about finding solutions for long lasting relief.
Speaker 3 (52:54):
Yes, very important. It's a science what makes that raise
key for eye care?
Speaker 18 (53:03):
So it's a science captures how there Tears is more
than just soothing drops. It delivers all five critical electrolytes
in a science back formula that mirrors your natural tiers,
so theirre tears has five ftal electrolytes that we find
in our natural tiers like sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and bicarbonate.
(53:24):
That balance supports hydration that lasts, and that can really
make a difference for people even when seasonal dryness could
be really bad.
Speaker 3 (53:34):
Now I'm one of these sufferers, how can dry eye
sufferers find real relief?
Speaker 12 (53:41):
So?
Speaker 18 (53:41):
I think most people don't understand that electrolytes are the
unsung heroes of your natural tiers. Think of your tear
film as like a delicate ecosystem, so when it's out
of balance and your eyes lose water, then you can
feel the burn and thera. Tears is really the only
over the counter I drop with those five vital electrolytes,
and the formula restores moisture and balance of the ocular surface,
(54:05):
so it doesn't just cover up symptoms like a band aid.
It really replenishes what eyes are missing. So for people
struggling through that dry fall air, that can really make
a difference between eyes that are comfortable and completely like painful,
burning itching, you know, uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (54:25):
Yes, I know that very well. What other solutions are
available for eye care needs?
Speaker 18 (54:34):
Yeah, so everyone's different and you know, every eye is different,
and their tiers really addresses that with different options like
preservative free drops. There's gel formulations for overnight relief products
for every day, all day, and that range really allows
people to choose what works best for their lifestyle, so
whether they're working, they're outdoors, they're.
Speaker 3 (54:55):
Going out nighttime.
Speaker 18 (54:58):
And also, don't wait until just comfort becomes a really
big issue. I think addressing it at the earliest sign
that something's off. And there's also simple steps that you
can do at home or at your office, like adjusting
your indoor humidity. Obviously, staying hydrated super important, to drink water,
and blinking our eyes frequently, especially if you're on a screen.
(55:21):
You know, taking breaks sometimes from screen use, and for
persistent dryness, options like there are tears can really make
a difference. So I think it's important we prioritize our
eyehealth now and that could really make better comfort, I mean,
you know, better comfort protection throughout the entire fall season.
Speaker 3 (55:40):
Yeah. I actually had lasage deep and so dry I
is one of the symptoms. You know, later on I
did twenty five years of perfect I, you know, I
could see, but now the dry eye is is there
a product to help that as well?
Speaker 18 (55:58):
So it's really like I SA said, every eye is
so different and it's important to just find what works
for you. And there Tears has a huge range of
different products that are all science backed formulations for various
eye care needs. And like I said earlier, there's different
products that you can use every day, all day and
(56:19):
so yeah, definitely absolutely.
Speaker 3 (56:22):
So I see here, you're you got your doctorate in Montreel,
so I was born in so no, yeah, fellow Canadians,
I'm wow school there. I'm assuming you're you're.
Speaker 18 (56:35):

Speaker 3 (56:41):

great information for your eye care?
