What if your mood changed the moment your words did? We’re taking on the quiet thief of joy—the “if only” loop—and trading it for a grounded, daily practice of gratitude you can actually keep. Sally continues our Great Fall series by moving beyond simple “noticing” and into perspective: the lens that shapes what we see, how we feel, and what we choose next.

We unpack how “if only I were thinner, richer, promoted, partnered, or less busy” keeps contentment on layaway, then demonstrate a practical switch to phrases like “I’m glad that,” “thankfully,” and “how great that.” You’ll hear real examples across work, body, family life, friendships, and home—each one a micro-reframe that lowers stress and raises presence. This isn’t about denying hard things. It’s about guiding your attention toward assets you can use today so peace stops being a future condition and starts being a present practice.

To help you make it stick, we share low-friction habit cues: a mirror sticky note you finish each morning, a daily phone reminder labeled “Thankfully…,” a weekly “I’m glad that” journal list, and even a postcard to your future self. We close with ten powerful gratitude sentences designed to calm your nervous system and reset your inner narrator.

If you’re ready to stop postponing joy and start practicing a kinder perspective, press play and try one reframe today. Then share your favorite “how great that” with us and leave a quick review to help more listeners find a steadier kind of peace.

Ever notice how we instantly feel when something goes wrong, but rarely pause to appreciate when things work perfectly? That's human nature—and it's exactly what we're challenging in this episode kicking off our annual Great Fall gratitude series.

Gratitude isn't just a nice sentiment; it's scientifically proven to help us live longer, sleep better, and experience greater happiness. The beautiful thing? Unlike most wellness practices, it requires no special equipment, costs nothing, and is available to everyone regardless of circumstances. It's perhaps the most accessible tool we have for improving mental wellbeing in our chaotic world.

The key insight from this episode is that effective gratitude requires getting granular. When our standard "I'm thankful for family, home, and health" lists become stale, we need to zoom in on the overlooked details of daily life.

We're also thrilled to announce our partnership with mental wellness boutique Petal and Pink for our upcoming seasonal Peaceful Pathways boxes! Launching November 1st (perfect for holiday shopping), the winter "Cozy Time" box includes five guided meditations and complementary items designed to enhance your wellbeing practice. Additional seasonal boxes will follow throughout the year.

Join us throughout this series as we explore fresh approaches to gratitude and discover the extraordinary in ordinary moments. How might your life transform if you started noticing what's working instead of what's broken?

Ever feel like you're constantly rushing from one task to the next without pausing to acknowledge how far you've come? "Gathered In" invites you to shift your perspective from what still needs doing to what you've already accomplished.

Drawing wisdom from the farmer's rhythm, Sally Burlington guides listeners to recognize their personal harvests. Just as farmers pause to celebrate before preparing for the next planting season, we too need moments to honor our gathered blessings. This deliberate pause isn't merely sentimental—it's essential for restoring our spirits and preparing us for what lies ahead.

The episode offers practical exercises for recognizing abundance in your life. By listing completed tasks and acknowledging life events that required your attention—graduations, moves, career changes, construction projects—you might discover surprising richness where you previously saw only exhaustion. This simple practice often explains feelings of fatigue while simultaneously granting permission to slow down in a culture that rarely values rest.

"Gathered In" builds on previous explorations of quietude and mindfulness, taking that journey further into feeling grounded, secure, and supported by all we've collected along life's path. The episode concludes with an announcement about the upcoming Peaceful Pathways Seasonal Series launching November 1st, featuring immersive meditations and curated items designed to deepen your experience of seasonal rhythms.

Listen now to discover how embracing your personal harvest season can transform your relationship with accomplishment, rest, and abundance. What kind of harvest could you celebrate in your life today?
