Podcasts about mindful christmas

There is a particular kind of joy in the simple act of curling up in an armchair with a book on a winter's day, or going to a café with nothing to do but take in the next chapter, or going to bed early and sitting up against soft pillows to read by lamplight. Words can be a real comfort in the darkest of seasons - both those we read and those we write. I hope this episode inspires you to pull down a favourite book off the shelf and have a read, or perhaps treat yourself to some poetry, or a new story, or a self-help book that is going to carry you through the winter. I also hope it is going to inspire you to get out your notebook and write some of your own words, as the fire crackles and the tree lights flicker.This episode includes:Wintery words to inspire youLots of cosy reading recommendations Inspiration for writing as a tool for wellbeingNature cornerChristmas traditions from around the world (from lovely listeners!)Get ahead tips as Christmas edges closerPLUS A lovely cosy giveaway (enter on my Instagram @bethkempton)With inspiration from Peter Hennessy, Josephine Greywoode, Alexandra Harris, Jane McMorland Hunter @alittlecitygarden, Tom Hennen, Phyllis Cole-Dai, Ruby R Wilson, Horatio Clare @horatiowrites, Nancy Campbell, Kevin Parr, @MattBakerOfficial, @FrancescaBeauman, Ono no Komachi, @SandrineBailly, Kim Simonsen, Randi Ward, Chris McCabe @mccabio1977, Freddie Jones, Andrew McRae, Robert Bridges, @Mark_Nepo, Elizabeth Jenner, @NationalTrust, Greg Loades @hull_urban_gardener, Shawn Bythell @bookshopwigtown, @cheftimanderson @hollyringland @therosiewalsh @mattzhaig, Muriel Barbery, Jenny Colgan @jennycolganwriter @jennycolganbooks, Joanne Harris @joannechocolat.PS See the full show notes here for recipe ingredients and other links.

In this episode, Anna and Emilia chat about removing tracking for the holidays, the fitness industry intuitive eating backlash, hitting protein without tracking protein, and fuelling for endurance performance - is there a place for fasted training? Merry Christmas everyone, and goodbye 2020!

Toxic Positivity (0:03:09)Has someone ever confided in you as they struggle with something difficult, and all you can think to tell them is to "look on the bright side"? Because if you were really honest with them, you might make them feel more sadness and despair? Well little do you know, you might actually be spreading toxic positivity by saying that. Dr. Laura Gallaher defines toxic positivity and helps us know how to avoid it.    Mindful Christmas (0:35:31)Christmas may be the merriest time of the year, but it is also the most stressful. There are kiddos to watch, food to cook, presents to buy etc. In the midst of the hustle and bustle, it's easy to lose sight of the merriness of Christmas and instead be overwhelmed with the stress of the holiday season. Carrie Ann Rhodes shares how to make this Christmas intentional and special.    Relieving Loneliness (0:55:30)We've all had to dial back this year on holiday plans. Now isn't the time for big holiday gatherings, and it's okay to feel sad about that. COVID has limited our social interactions, leaving many of us to feel lonely. Dr. Marisa G. Franco gives advice on how to relieve this loneliness.    Holiday Budgeting (1:11:58)The holidays are almost here, and while that's cause for cheer there is also the stress of the shopping list that comes with every holiday season. It's very tempting to walk into the mall or log into Amazon and purchase whatever you think Mom might like, but that approach can empty our wallet quickly. So, what can we do to be smart about our budget this holiday season? Here to talk us through it is finance expert Reyna Gobel.   Winning the Lottery (1:26:35)We've all heard the age-old phrase: "Money can't solve all your problems." But... it can take care of your car payment, medical bills, and the vacation you've been wanting to take... It seems like money can solve many of your problems. This is why Americans spend roughly 71 billion dollars on lottery tickets every year-- despite their odds of winning being worse than their odds of getting attacked by a bear. But someone has to win, right? And for those winners, does the money solve all of their problems? Financial advisor Robert Pagliarini shares his insight.
