In this episode of the Nourishing Birth & Beyond podcast, I explore the concept of New Year’s resolutions and how the often involve unrealistic goals. I have an alternative I want to propose instead. I’m sharing my personal gratitude practice, emphasising its positive impact on mental health, and inviting you to join a workshop designed to provide practical tools for personal growth. The episode encourages listeners to find what works for them and highlights the importance of small changes and gratitude in enhancing well-being.

- New Year’s resolutions, questioning their effectiveness and suggesting gratitude as a more beneficial focus.
- I share my personal journey with gratitude, highlighting its positive impact on mental health and the importance of small, achievable goals.
- And invitation to participate in a live workshop offering practical tools for personal growth, designed to fit into busy schedules.
- The value of finding personalized approaches to well-being, encouraging you to adopt practices that resonate with you.
Sound bites from this episode:
“Tiny shifts create big changes.”
“My experience with making lifestyle changes and behavioral changes and habit changes and things like that, it’s great to have big dreams. But in terms of things we want to change about our day in, day out, making massive changes can just be toxic and unhelpful.”
“The beautiful thing about gratitude is that there’s been research done on gratitude and there’s been some research carried out that shows if you sit and write down your gratitudes just once in three months time, your mental health will be better than it would have been if you didn’t write down your gratitudes three months prior.”
“Ending each day with the gratitudes, it also tells each other a bit about our day. And yeah, it’s a little bit of disclosing, you know, to share something that we might not have shared otherwise. And yeah, it’s been a really beautiful experience and it’s one, you know, will likely carry on for years to come because we’re both really enjoying it and actually have both made a point at separate times of saying, I really am grateful to do this with you, you know.”
