TODAY’s Craig Melvin recently opened up about how Al Roker has changed his life with one simple piece of advice.
“Start with no," Melvin said. "It’s the best advice. And I actually use that and quote it in passing.”
“The power of no is an amazing thing,” Roker said. “And don’t give an explanation. Just say no. You can always go to yes, but if you start with yes, then you’re dead. So, start with no. Especially when it comes to doing stuff that is not important — things that take you away from your kids — start with no.”

| Even when we know people’s names, why do we go for days without using them? By using someone’s name, you help them feel seen and acknowledged — and that’s an act of kindness. According to kindness.org’s research in collaboration with the University of Oxford, doing a kind act increases happiness, well-being, trust and compassion. And it can have the same powerful effect on those who receive the act. Try it, and put a smile on both your faces. |

Many people drink alcohol to relax and feel good at the end of the day, but a new study suggests skipping that daily glass of wine is a better way to boost mental health.
The effect was particularly powerful in women who stopped drinking, but experts have seen the benefit in men, too.
“When people get sober, they a lot of times will feel calmer, their anxiety diminishes and there’s less irritability. They just say, ‘Wow, that’s a better place to be,’” said Dr. James C. Garbutt, a psychiatry professor at the Bowles Center for Alcohol Studies at the University of North Carolina.
