Grateful: A Journal To Reflect Daily And Nightly by Nikki Lanigan

After studying the happiest people in the world one thing they have in common, gratitude.

Find a quiet, comfortable space where you won’t be disturbed. Sit or lie down in a relaxed position. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to settle into the present moment.

In this solo episode Nikki talks about manifesting, her dream guests to manifest for Fit, Fun, and Frazzled.

Her desire to be both a fun, lighthearted, pop culture podcast and also an informative, educational, inspirational podcast too.

Her podcast audit of podcasts she once listened to and now taking a break, unsubscribing to podcasts, unfollow on social media people that no longer align with you right now.





What right now do you want to manifest these last few months of 2024?
What about next year in 2025?
What about your 5 year mark?



Nikki reads her dream list she made in 2022 of podcast guests she would love to have on her podcast and she had one on from that list!!

Rebroadcast of my top downloaded and listened to episode: I almost deleted this one a few times. I don't like to talk about myself so I am very humbled that so many people have listened. Thank you all so much! In this episode I talk about what it is like having anxiety and OCD. It's the first time I have been so open and honest. I am doing this in hopes to help others and so many have done for me. I think being in the fitness, yoga, and wellness world there is a stigma that we are not supposed to have anxiety, depression, or a mental disorder. But if we become more vocal I think it helps lessen the stigma around it.   So many others have been so open and vocal that it has helped me and I thank them and I hope in turn I am able to help someone too.  
Towards the end of the episode I talk about tools to help with mental disorders, first and foremost always talk to your doctor or counselor.  Talk therapy and medication should never be looked down upon and take when needed.  Regular exercise and yoga help, breath work, meditation, journaling, gratitude practice, and reading are some tools that help me. 
The book I mention is One Simple Thing. A New Look at the Science of Yoga and How It Can Transform Your Life. By Eddie Stern.
