It’s the end of another great month here on the Habit Thrive Podcast, and we’re ramping up our transition into spring.

Hey there, Habit Thrivers, and welcome to March! To me, the beginning of March is like turning a corner from winter into spring.

Welcome, Habit Thrivers, to week 2 of Whole Heart Living here on the Habit Thrive Podcast. Last week, I asked what whole heart living means to you. Did you get a chance to think about it?

February is a month full of hearts… Chocolate hearts, candy hearts, paper garland hearts, and heart-shaped cards.

We’re kicking off our theme of Whole Heart Living today by thinking about what “whole heart living” means to us. When w…
 
Well, Habit Thrivers, we have made it through the January blues and to the last episode of this month’s podcast!

This month on The Habit Thrive Podcast, we are going to shine a light on what I like to call our Habit of Stress.

But, by exploring the idea that our stress resp…
 
It’s bedtime. The lights are out. The bed is cozy. The temperature is perfect. You snuggle in with your head on the nice, cool pillow. And then… Your brain starts its nightly banter: Did I remember to put eggs on the grocery list? What time is the party on Friday? Have I given the dog her medicine this month? Why didn’t Jim at work say anything abo…
 
Hey there, Habit Thrivers! In today's episode we dive into the concept of how a "good day's waking leads to a good night's sleeping"( Dr. Andrew Weil). As soon as we open our eyes in the morning, we are preparing for a good night's sleep. I know it seems strange but honestly, if you move through your day thinking about your "future sleeping self" i…
 
We've all been here: Waking up the morning after a not-so-great night's sleep feeling sluggish, grumpy … maybe even a little regretful. You think back to the night before, when you got caught up in a Netflix series until way past your bedtime. Maybe it seemed like a good idea at the time, but the lack of planning and a nightly sleep routine has lef…
 
Often, in our busy and rushed lives, we look at sleep as something that needs to be done. Almost like a chore. How many times have you looked at the clock in the evening, thought about all the things you had on your to-do list, and said, “I have got to get to sleep…”? STOP thinking of sleep as something you have to “get to” and start thinking of so…

In this week’s episode I address the questions: Can a gratitude practice really become a habit? and Can it be as easy as brushing your teeth? The answer is absolutely! Especially if you follow the habit loop system (Cue - Routine - Reward) first described in the book, The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg Also have a peek at his book for interesting…
 
You may have heard the saying, "What you focus on grows." When you focus your attention and energy into positive things, you invite even more positivity and happiness into your life.

What are you grateful for? It could be something as simple as the transition into cooler, crisp fall weather or the fact that you finally perfected your chicken soup recipe. It could be something bigger like the birth of a child in your family, a promotion at work or the purchase of a new home. This month of October on The Habit Thrive Podcast, we …
 
As September comes to a close and we recall the past few episodes of the Habit Thrive Podcast focusing on Planning Happiness, I have one big question for you: Are you happy?

Has this ever happened to you? You’re sitting around with a large group of people, perhaps at the table after Thanksgiving dinner.
