I'm baaaack! And oh it feels good to be with you, bringing you a brand-new episode of The Transforming Anxiety Podcast. And ha, we're going to kick it off with a killer topic; we're diving back in talking about why it doesn't suck.
Which...well, let me explain. 😂
There's a lot of data backing the importance and benefits of practicing gratitude. Grateful people tend to be physically healthier, more resilient, have deeper relationships, feel more joy and happiness, and experience decreased levels of depression and anxiety to name a few perks. Not too shabby.
But if you have a little bit of an inner eyeroll when you think about creating some kind of regular gratitude practice, join me in lowering the bar and making this even easier: I love to ask myself, "how does this NOT suck?"
From simple things like my to-do list to larger-scale situations (pandemics, war, social justice issues) it can get pretty easy to get bogged down in just how difficult, scary, and awful things can be. But I like to right-size things by asking, "why does it not suck?" and finding places where I can rest easy, let go, and even get grateful.
Join me for this new episode of the podcast and let's explore why it doesn't suck...
