Today hosts Michael Nunez and David Anderson discuss how you can reset yourself and build positive habits.

As we explore how you can reboot your brain, we touch on the benefits of being helpful, exercising, maintaining your social connections, eating more healthily, learning something new, and keeping a consistent sleep routine.
