Welcome to a brand new season of the Reboots Podcast!This summer is all about arriving at reasonable happiness - even in the midst of great hardship and the chaos that surrounds so many of us now.How is that possible?Through the now-common prayer in which we ask for help in accepting the things we cannot change, and having the courage to change what we can.There's a constellation of topics surrounding change navigation, like mental health, behavioral science, the 12 steps of recovery, and gratitude.We're kicking off the 2020 season of episodes with Dr. Benjamin Hardy - an organizational psychologist and writer. He shares insights into the hope of changing ourselves and debunks popular personality studies that he believes tend to keep us stuck where we are instead of believing we can change who we are.Can't wait to share this episode and much more with you.Here's the link to 15 Things I've Learned About Navigating Change.Check out our 30-days of gratitude - COVID-19 edition. 
Episode 25 of The Change Journals features my friend Caesar Kalinowski. In our continuation of our 30-days of gratitude challenge, Caesar talks about how gratitude not only changes us but also changes other people when we dare to share gratitude.Caesar remembers how difficult it was for him - as an adult - to write a tribute letter to his father because the childhood relationship had been so painful. And how that activity began to rewire remembrance - for both of them, and how it brought profound healing to both of them - and into a deeper relationship with a Heavenly Father.Join Caesar for The Gospel in Everyday Life later this week.Sign up for the 30-Days of Gratitude challenge.We’re teaching quick habits for building and maintaining a gratitude habit - not just through the holidays but for a lifetime.
