Regular Guy Friday ep. 168 Rewiring Negative Thinking Patterns

Are you struggling right now? Do you have FRIENDS who are struggling right now? It's 2020. The answer is almost surely YES. Listen, it has been anything but easy watching two parents get Covid, but they're back from the hospital, and it looks like they're home from the hospital and we're doing everything we can to get them better. Prayers still needed. Today we discussed how to show for people when they're struggling. How can we be a good friend in crisis and ACTUALLY help those who are hurting when we don't know the right thing to do or say? Today the team and I have that conversation, and share helpful tips if you truly want to be there for your friends in need in WHATEVER crisis they're facing, joined by @undergaro. We offer you practical ways that we can help those who need it, and given how hard this year has been, I'm sure you know people who do! These are some of my ideas, but I want to hear from YOU! Comment below how you show up for your loved ones in crisis, because we're all one big #HealSquad, we learn from each other, and of course, we're better together. TAG someone who could use some encouragement in the comments below, and make sure you subscribe to @BetterTogetherWithMaria for more conversations like this one.

Good News, because we ALL need good news. FROM MARIA: Mom is coming HOME today! As I reflect, we can't help but feel a profound sense of gratitude. I'm grateful for all your prayers, which helped carry my mom and our family through. I'm grateful for all the doctors and nurses - it’s been a team effort. I'm grateful to have great care lined up for my mom with @24hourhomecare, they have been working very diligently to provide care for Covid+ and at risk patients at home.

Panicking about #Thanksgiving prep?   Do yourself a favor and devote ONE hour to today's #BetterTogether episode with @WomansDay Content Director @MeaghanBMurphy, who has you COVERED.  First step, cut yourself some slack. There's a global pandemic - if you want to skip the turkey, skip the turkey (Meaghan is having steak). But why not try new side dishes? Maybe this year dinner is on the couch? Or maybe you could try some of these ADORABLE (and shockingly easy) crafts!  But most importantly, remember that this year is about #gratitude. It's been a heck of a year, but when you look there's ALWAYS something to be grateful for, so why not try gratitude jars (watch to find out what those are!)
