Gratitude

44m · Armed and Dadly · 01 Dec 11:00

Between running a business and being an attentive father and husband, host Eric Portwood sometimes forgets to slow down and be thankful for all he has. In today’s episode, Eric discusses the importance of practicing gratitude.

From the very first moment of each day, we should feel grateful, not only for the things we have but also for the opportunity to live another day. Whether it be journaling or verbal actions, it is important to find a way to remind yourself and those around you that you are thankful. While it can be easy to get caught up just going through the motions of your day-to-day life, Eric explains that incorporating intentional moments of gratitude will improve your mental health and your relationship with yourself and others. 

Tune into this week’s episode of Armed & Dadly to learn more about the power of gratitude and ways you can implement it into your daily routine to enjoy a life filled with love and positivity.

Stop Overthinking

I've been MIA for sometime now from the Podcast. So many of us stay stuck and directionless because we over think every single detail of our lives. Stuck in the should haves or could haves. Paralyzed from taking action on where we want to be or go out of fear of what others may think of us. Ultimately leading to our own demise and self sabotage. Making ourselves physically sick due to the constant storm in our own heads.

In todays episode I talk about the symptoms of overthinking and some solutions on how to stop it once and for all.
