#14 - Learn & Grow Part 13 – “Dear panic attack, Thank you for all you have shown me” (and other gratitudes from Body Kindness readers and listeners)

Our original interview was released in 2016 and replaced with
this update.


As we enter November, Bernie and I have gratitude on our minds.
It’s been 3 years since Bernie and I reconnected, and he began
practicing Body Kindness. In this special episode, we reflect on
the positive changes in his life and self compassion practice
over time.


We asked listeners to take a pause and share with us “what are
you grateful for, big or small”. We also share our original
conversation from 2016 where we talk about why gratitude matters
to Body Kindness, and how a gratitude practice can be an
important key to unlocking your “inner caregiver” voice and lead
to more joy throughout the holiday season, even if you’re
thinking about past holidays filled with “rules” “judgments” and
emotional pain and wondering what “body kindness” looks like for
you this year. We feel you.


We hope this episode inspires you for finding gratitude in
whatever comes to your mind. Maybe it’s a person in your life, a
meaningful life event, acknowledging what is good through injury
or disability, or something else that rings true for you. As you
listen, we ask you to think of a few “good things” even if it’s
really hard right now. Then join us all month long as we share
gratitude on Instagram. Follow our posts and tag us on yours.
